If they can afford to buy Trump gifts, they can afford to pay taxes.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

‘Tax the Rich!’: Packed Mamdani Rally Features Sanders, AOC, and Hochul Ahead of Election Day
(www.commondreams.org)
Zohran said it best in the debate, they're spending more money to smear him than they would be paying in extra taxes if he won.
I highly recommend watching AOC’s speech, she was amazing, truly inspirational.
The only thing I don't like about AOC is her voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's worse when she's speaking to a crowd or just really motivated or angry, calm interview tone I can handle, but speeches... nope. I'd vote for her, but I'd just read her statements rather than listen to them.
Worse than Trump?
Oh no, I'd listen to her over him any day. Plus I'd actually vote for her, not something I've ever said or will say about him.
Technically, voting has already started.
Go. Cuomo!
Just...go.
That must have been the most out of place Kathy Hochul has been since that one time she accidentally went to Jamaica, Queens instead of to lunch with a billionaire owner donor at a luxury resort in Jamaica, the country.
I was like Mahndani, yeah! AOC, yeah!, Bernie, fuck yeah! Hochul what the fuck is she lost.
tax the rich.... lets see how this plays out.
If I paid the highest tax rate on all my income but we had the type of universal healthcare where I don't have to worry about any bills I just go in and get done what needs to be done and hey maybe gives me cabfare home if I need it. I would be so happy although it would nice to have other social safety nets.
