As in many major cities in the U..S run by Democrats, you have to be fabulously rich or wretchedly poor to live in New York City. Either you have the money to live in the rent-controlled, gentrified neighborhoods or you need government assistance.
If I lived in the Big Apple and were rich, I'd start looking at properties in Connecticut.
Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced the most ambitious health care plan in America, covering the 600,000 New Yorkers who don't have health insurance -- including illegal aliens. How will the city pay for it? Bill is a little fuzzy on the details but he made it pretty clear where his thinking lies.
Tapper opened the segment by quoting Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum — who had proposed a similar plan for his state, but noted that unless other states joined the program, it would be financially impossible. “He was saying in Florida they could do it only if other states joined him because otherwise, all sick people would just come to Florida,” Tapper explained.
“What’s to stop sick people from flocking to New York and overburdening the system?”
De Blasio shrugged off the question, saying, “I don’t see that happening.”
Of course he doesn't see it. Liberals never see any negative consequences from their schemes. You should read how the debate unfolded in the 1960s about Medicare. What could go wrong?
That said, de Blasio daydreams about how to fund his fantastical health care program by taking money from people he thinks don't deserve it.
Tapper pressed de Blasio further, referencing an earlier quote from the mayor. “You said something pretty radical this week that I want to ask you about. You said there’s plenty of money in the world. There’s plenty of money in the city. It’s just in the wrong hands.”
De Blasio nodded, “Yep. That is a quote.”
“Who decides whose hands are the right hands and whose hands are the wrong hands?” Tapper asked.
“When I say there’s plenty of money in this country, it’s just in the wrong hands, it means to say we need policies that give back to working people. Like guaranteeing health care for all,” de Blasio explained.
“What’s interesting about the argument, which struck a lot of people, is you are not talking about fairness,” Tapper continued. “You are saying these people have money and it’s wrong that they have money. Not that they have money, they live exorbitant or wealthy lifestyles and can give more to help these people. You’re saying it’s wrong they have money. Who is deciding whether it’s wrong?”
Well, Jake, that would be Mayor de Blasio who decides. He doesn't have a clue how wealth is created:
The wrong people have all the kids - so shall we redistribute them?
Of course not, but I can’t think of one argument against the redistribution of children that does not also apply to the redistribution of wealth.
Let all reap - and keep - what they sow.
Horseface wants to take everything above $10M at 70%.
Guess what, I AM WITH HER. I’m sick of these uber-wealthy Leftists (and most are Leftists) using their money to DESTROY this country. I’m done ‘protecting’ them because I’m a Republican and believe in low taxes. They can go to hell. Let the DEMOCRATS protect them - since that’s who they identify with.
Perhaps if they were to feel a bit of pain, they might reconsider their positions, or at least have less money to use in destroying this country for my kids and grand kids.
He must be talking about George Soros and Zuckerman.
Well?

Bingo!
Wow...you know you are an idiot when Andrew Gilliam sounds smarter than the NYC mayor...
Government is not the moral arbiter of everyone.
Government is also not charity.
Two of MANY areas where government has crosed and violated the so-called separation of chuch and state they so love to incorrectly use when it benefits them.
There is a separation of powers but government continues to take church powers it never had ever, to begin with.
Wow, talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire. I'd be looking in Florda, certainly not in the northeast.
Not all people like the southern climate——I would hate it.
“the ‘Wrong People’ Have All the Money”
Then those who have all that money, better get it out while they still can.
....but Lenin said it first.
give back to working people. Like guaranteeing health care for all,” de Blasio explained.
Only he supports illegal invaders and those who are on the teet and not working.
I’m with you on that. We bought a second house about 100 miles from Canada as a retirement home. Headed north! Opposite everybody else.
