Wealth Is ‘in the Wrong Hands,’ Mayor Says, Pledging to Redistribute It
By J. David Goodman and William Neuman

A new ferry route will link Staten Island to the West Side of Manhattan. New Yorkers who don’t get paid vacation will soon have two weeks.
And wealth in the city will be more evenly distributed.
Those are some of the promises Mayor Bill de Blasio is making in his State of the City speech on Thursday, his sixth since taking office and one that clearly articulates his view of how he has changed New York City as he prepares to embark on a national tour to trumpet his accomplishments and proposals.
“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city,” his prepared speech reads. “It’s just in the wrong hands!”
In the speech, being delivered at Symphony Space on the Upper West Side at 11 a.m., the mayor presents his leadership of New York as one that has made streets safer and brought new protections for tenants and workers. He casts himself as an aspiring Robin Hood — aiming to take from the rich and give to the poor — even as he has thus far been unsuccessful in his many attempts to raise taxes on high earners.
Major elements of the speech had been set out by Mr. de Blasio in recent days: a plan to improve customer service for the city’s public hospitals and better connect uninsured residents to primary care physicians; and legislation to require paid vacation for private-sector workers.

His own excluded, of course.
That’s been tried-It’s called ‘theft’
Yep, all that’s missing is him breaking out in song to “Every Man A King”.
Setting the stage for his presidential run.
And ATLAS WILL SHRUG!!
And this is why socialism / communism can never, ever work.
The poor make bad decisions and are not capable of creating wealth. Giving them the same outcome as productive people, causes the productive people to quit working. Therefore everyone starves.
It is just human nature. The outcome is a sure as the sun rising each day.
His personal wealth is in the right hands though!!
Meaning NOT IN HIS HANDS!
1) “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
2) “It’s time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few..... And to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity.”
3) “(We) ....can’t just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.”
4) “We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to giveup a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground.”
5) “I certainly think the free-market has failed.”
6) “I think it’s time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in (the) entire economy that they are being watched.”

By GOD THAT WAS A REALLY INCISIVE EXPLORATORY REVALATORY ARTICLE BY THE NYT!! They could not have been more tough on De Blasio! The line of questioning was to the jugular!!!
Marxist criminal. Unhinged, out of control. Will the mindless, ignorant, selfish hoards in NY ever get it??
They are going to pay for it....
How would someone stupid enough to be a liberal in the first place possibly have a chance of knowing who the ‘right hands’ are. What they really mean is ‘my hands, and the hands of whores that will vote for me if I give them your money’.

Like a good Communist. Guarantee you he’s not including his own wealth in that statement.
Has he promised unicorns to all the kids on Festivus day?
