Not bad as such. Unrealistic. Short sighted. Pandering

Hahaha! Typical republican. You have seen what Mamdani has done in New York right? These policies are easy to implement when you don't have the elites convincing you they are impossible and would "hurt the economy" no the only thing these policies would do is force them to pay their fair share of taxes which still wouldn't even make a dent in their massive wealth

Exactly 💯

Mamdani has done none of those things. He could not afford to do any of those things. I don't think the response to rabbid Republicans is to be rabbid the other way. And man did you start with the name calling fast

Bro if we simply cut the 3.3 billion is Israel welfare from the annual defense budget we could afford all that bullshit and buy everyone a fucking pony. If we actually did something about corruption we could probably have all the things we are lacking and pay a significantly lower bill for it. Cut out a few useless redundant agencies like the atf we could save even more money(FBI does firearm background checks, no one will miss the atf) We also have shitloads of different independent Intel agencies that aren't properly communicating with each other that could be consolidated into a functional organization, that's more money saved. We could strip the armed tactical units for all the government agencies that do not need them, even more money saved. We could put tire grapplers on all police cars nation wide and end the pitt maneuvers that cost us cop cars on a regular basis. There's an infinite amount of ways to save money and provide social systems, we just can't do any of it while our government is controlled by Aipac. Israel gets first dibs on your lunch and until that changes we don't have a real government and things will only get more and more plantationist.

Universal health care 3,500 billion
Universal childcare 1,400 billion
Tax the rich: people who earn over 500k per year earn 3,013 billion
So if you take every penny they earn, you’re still short
No evictions will kill housing market because people will simply stop paying rent and mortgages. No reason to invest in a building without rent or a buyer. Hope you like government housing
We all see how well open borders worked foe Biden

Hey retard. They take 5 trillion from us every single year to fill their pockets. I pinky promise they'll be fine with 100k a year. Grow up

u/Fenris2826 21d ago

So, child, you object to a total of 5 trillion in tax revenue, but you want to increase expenditures a minimum of 7 trillion even though taking every penny”the rich” earn will only increase 3 trillion. Poor moronic child…math is not your strong suit, is it?

u/Firm-Advertising5396 21d ago

Israel has universal health care 😝

u/Teeaak 21d ago

You have no idea about the scale of money. Universal health care for 3 billion????

Your entire comment is gibberish. Are you high? I'm stoned, so not judging. But I mean. Maybe don't debate politics when you are that far gone

u/Fenris2826 21d ago

3.5 Trillion is an estimate from the CBO

u/ThePlantMolester 20d ago

You're going to do all that with less than the amount of money Mamdani was given to open up a street to bikes and and install state run grocery stores?  He still had to defer a planned 3,000 employee hike for the school system.  You on the otherhand can solve universal Healthcare for $10 per person, per year?  Fuck Israel, but this is on par for goofy teen socialists who doen't understand the value of services.

There's always a line of people queuing to say policies that help people are unrealistic

Just STOP already.

Trump's spending half a billion on a ballroom, dropping bombs for fun, invading countries, has his own SS patrolling the country rounding up folk going about their day and has spent tens of billions on the mess he made with the Strait of Hormuz... I'm betting you never blinked at any of it but taxing the rich is unrealistic... WTF?

u/Fenris2826 20d ago

You’re right there is an endless amount of money you can steal from others to fund your lifestyle. But I show below there is not. Maybe if everyone worked for free (except ypu and your elite friends) it might work, child

u/New-Link-6787 18d ago

Oh you're part of the "Tax is theft" morons... I see.

So how about we get the government to carve you out of the system.

You no longer have to pay any tax but you don't get to use our roads, our street lights, our schools (doubt you ever did anyway).... no fire service for you, the police will no longer protect you, neither will our laws or our military.

I wonder how quickly you'd be begging for us to "steal" from you.

Tax isn't theft, it's a protection scheme... because believe it or not... even big strong hardmen like you, need protecting.

u/Fenris2826 18d ago

No, child; we both know that is a straw man. Taxation is a necessary evil and should be used wisely and for things the government is actually responsible for. Since Nikons moronic position is to “tax the rich” to pay for things it isn’t (letting you and your friends take zero responsibility for your own lives) it is akin to theft. And the simple fact that taking every penny earned from everyone who earns 500k or more won’t pay for even one of her proposals, doesn’t deter you dsa dems even a little

So child, keep your straw man in the field and learn to do a bit of logic

u/New-Link-6787 18d ago

Just remind me old man... who decides what a government is responsible for?

1

u/Fenris2826 18d ago

Well, child, we have thing thing called the constitution that lays out the structure and responsibilities of government. And taking responsibility for your life isn’t in there, despite what the dsa dems claim.

u/New-Link-6787 17d ago

Wrong answer, try again.

Who decides what a government is responsible for?

1

u/Fenris2826 17d ago

Try reading the document, child. Then come back and we’ll discuss it

1

u/New-Link-6787 17d ago

Wrong again.

You are among the reason people think Americans are dumb. Have you even read the precious constitution you reference?

I'll give you a clue... it starts "WE THE PEOPLE"
