    Mamdani may find his desire to stick it to the rich will leave fewer of them to tax in New York City, warned John Ketcham, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

    “New York City is losing its competitive edge and Mayor Mamdani makes it far less competitive,” he said.

    “Investors and job creators have options and they will go where they’re treated well. Increasingly New York City has treated them inhospitably. New York City leaders have assumed they can’t do business elsewhere, even though we have seen in the last several years a dramatic expansion of the financial sector’s activities in states like Florida and Texas.”

  • If capital flight is difficult why are billionaires leaving NYC. From https://nypost.com/2026/05/08/us-news/ny-leaders-desperately-try-to-stop-billionaire-bigs-from-fleeing-city-over-mamdani/

    New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing it out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth.

    The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.

    The desire to be rich encourages people to work hard and innovate. The reason the wealthy want to keep their wealth could be that they desire to use it for something such as starting a business. Elon Musk has several businesses.

  • Musk and Zuckerberg built their fortune because they had good ideas. The appeal of capitalism is people can become rich.

  • The gain is victory. Had Gallego lost, Republicans would have a greater majority in the Senate. Progressives might win in a blue area but in a contested area such as Arizona, it's better to run a centrist such as Gallego. A centrist is able to attract independents.

  • Trump would be pressured to agree. The agreement would prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb which is what Trump says he wants. Trump would have to explain what else does he want. Further pressure would be applied if other countries such Pakistan, India, Qatar, and Saudia Arabia agree. If Trump rejects the deal, Europe, China, and Russia would proceed without him. They would protect Iran from attack by the US and Israel. This would include protecting tankers carrying Iranian oil.

  • All true, but why would one think the wealthy would not act the same as the ultra-wealthy? The rich might want to keep their wealth because they think they will use it for something such as starting a business. Mamdani is causing billionaires to leave NYC. From https://nypost.com/2026/05/06/us-news/billionaire-ken-griffin-scales-back-nyc-jobs-in-response-to-mamdanis-tax-the-rich-antics-sparking-fears-wealthy-exodus-has-begun/

    Billionaire bigwigs Ken Griffin and Marc Rowan are taking thousands of jobs out of the Big Apple and setting their sights elsewhere as a “direct consequence” of Mayor Mamdani’s “tax the rich” antics — stoking fears that a big-money exodus is underway.

  • That is the reason Trump stopped the bipartisan border bill, but Biden didn't need it to stop the flood of migrants. He could have used executive orders. Republicans told him he could.

  • They would return to Israel, but how do you plan to get Israelis to leave? Under my plan, Israel would get land in the Sinai.

  • No Democrat will get elected favoring reparations or the removal of Israel as a country. Galinda just lost in the Democratic primary after saying she would put American Zionists in ICE detention centers.

    No, Biden continued to allow illegal migrants to flood across the border which enabled Trump to make border security a top issue. Legal migration is good for a country not illegal migration. The reason is that legal migration allows talented people who are approved to enter the country.
