Potential US presidential contender thinks YOUR money is in the “wrong hands”

Guest Post by Simon Black

Grab your wallets. Bill de Blasio, the Mayor of New York City, may be lining up a presidential run. And in his State of the City speech last Thursday, he gave us a peak of what the future could have in store…

“Here’s the truth. Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. There’s plenty of money in this city. It’s just in the wrong hands.”

Brothers and sisters? In the wrong hands? REALLY, comrade de Blasio?!

The Mayor of New York City doesn’t think the people who earn the money should get to keep it.

For the time being, New York City is still the financial capital of the world, despite Bill de Blasio’s best efforts to change that.

This guy is as far left as they come. And he doesn’t try to hide it.

He traveled to Nicaragua to support the socialist Sandinistas back in 1988. (The same socialist leader, Danny Ortega, is still in power and currently on a mass killing spree).

De Blasio wants to guarantee health care for everyone in New York City, including illegal immigrants.

He even wants to seize buildings from bad landlords (if we took property away from every landlord that had a complaint filed against them, I don’t think we’d have any left).

In a 2017 interview, he told New York Magazine:

What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be.

I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs. And I would, too.

De Blasio believes in a top down centrally planned society from the bottom of his heart. He thinks every facet of life should be regulated and controlled by the government.

He was mayor while New York City outlawed common “gravity knives” used in construction work.

He signed a bill that forces Airbnb to hand over information on every host and every transaction. Already NYC is one of the most restrictive places in the country when it comes to Airbnb, and the city spends up to $7 million per year enforcing these rules.

Plus New York City residents are already paying one of the highest tax rates in the country. In addition to federal and (high) state taxes, they owe a city wide income tax. In the end, over half of their money already gets confiscated by various governments.

But that’s not enough for Bill. And that’s no surprise given the agendas he’s pushing forward like free healthcare. The question remains the same… who is going to pay for all of this?

Maybe he wants a 70% tax rate like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Maybe it’s 90% like back in the days of FDR.

But before he tries to squeeze more blood from the stone, Bill should look across the river to New Jersey.

Jersey has some of the highest income, property, and inheritance tax rates in the country. And its residents are already fleeing, including the billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper, who moved himself and his business to Florida.

Just this one guy leaving means the state of New Jersey lost hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue – he almost singlehandedly threw the state into crisis.

And Tepper isn’t alone in fleeing to a friendlier tax state. Two million residents left New Jersey between 2005 and 2014. 60% of them went to Florida, taking with them their combined $18 billion of income.

New York is in the same boat. In the 12 months ending July 2017, the State of New York lost a net 190,508 residents (bringing the total loss to 1 million people since 2010 – the largest of any state). Guess where they’re headed… states with friendlier tax regimes.

So what exactly does de Blasio think this kind of rhetoric is going to do for NYC’s tax revenue?

He doesn’t care. Because this speech wasn’t really aimed at New Yorkers. It was aimed at the entire nation.

Bill de Blasio is one of the cadre of rising socialists who is considering throwing their hat in the ring for a 2020 Democratic nomination.

If Trump was the answer to politically correct, cry-baby social justice warriors, just imagine who will come to power when the pendulum swings back the other way. We saw a preview with Bernie Sanders in 2016… Elizabeth “you didn’t build that” Warren echoes his economic illiteracy.

Message received loud and clear Comrade Bill. Wealthy people are the enemy… and their money should be in the “right” hands (presumably the not-so-invisible hands of government).

This pretty much captures it all: they want your money. It’s not even your money. You earned it… but they have a right to take it.

This is an important, and growing, trend in the Land of the Free. And you need to pay attention.

Jimmy Torpedo: You live in Nicky.
Is Ortega still in power, and still on a killing spree?
I’d rather hear from a current resident, instead of a writer, or a biased source pointing me to a website article on a search engine.
Thoughts?

Not to worry , Bill, when they hit Florida and Texas they vote to turn it into the paradise lost they left. West Coast exodus turns Nevada, Colorado; Arizona and soon Idaho and Montana blue.t

Is there a common thread running between these names: Ivan Boesky, Michael Dell, Michael Milken, George Soros, Carl Icahn, Steven A. Cohen, Larry Ellison, Michael Steinberg, Jonathan Hollander, Barry Minkow, Jordan Belfort, Bernie Madoff, Andrew Fastow, and Samuel D. Waskal? If you guessed insider trading and/or securities fraud and money laundering, you’d be right!

Call it what you will, Capitalism, Bolshevism , Communism , Socialism … it’s all controlled by the same people playing both ends against the ideologically deluded consumer unit. Muh capitalism cares nothing for tradition, culture, faith , nationality or the preserving posterity for future Americans.

Capitalists in league with our so called democratic government are feverishly working to replace Americans , whose ancestor built this nation, with third world street invaders who will work for nothing and demand nothing but free shit from a government they had no stake in creating .

“promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,”

Regardless the source of this quote, no more prophetic warning has ever been penned.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”

In 1911 the St. Louis Dispatch published a cartoon by a Bolshevik named Robert Minor. Minor was later to be arrested in Tsarist Russia for revolutionary activities and in fact was himself bankrolled by famous Wall Street financiers. Since we may safely assume, that he knew his topic well, his cartoon is of great historical importance. It portrays Karl Marx with a book entitled Socialism under his arm, standing amid a cheering crowd on Wall Street. Gathered around and greeting him with enthusiastic handshakes are characters in silk hats identified as John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, John D. Ryan of National City Bank, Morgan partner George W. Perkins and Teddy Roosevelt, leader of the Progressive Party.[5]

Professor Antony Sutton writes:

President Woodrow Wilson was the fairy godmother, who provided Trotsky with a passport to return to Russia to “carry forward” the revolution…At the same time careful State Department bureaucrats, concerned about such revolutionaries entering Russia, were unilaterally attempting to tighten up passport procedures.[6]

Typical Demoncrat full of shit and likely to get votes in liberal New York that is full of shit anyway. Forget this dude he has no shot

Stucky

This article only focuses on the shitfuk policies endorsed by DeBlowme.

It failed to even mention his level of CORRUPTION …. which I suspect leads all mayors in America.

The people of NYC absolutely knew about all this. It wass in the papers literally every day.

Yet, they voted him back in. Stupid MOTHERFUCKERS. They got what they deserve.

De Blasio represents the exact opposite of Propertarianism.

Money goes where it’s treated best.
Or, it stays on the sidelines, hiding itself from the confiscatory games that are played.
It also contributes to growth in black markets, where more people skirt the IRS confiscation demands.

The only people supporting socialists who promise more free shit from the government
are the people who under-produce, or don’t produce at all, advocating wealth redistribution.
No concept of earned income, or fairness. Or theft, at someone else’s sweat equity.

Ahh, but what about generational wealth, handed down to beneficiaries who haven’t earned it?
That’s wrong, some say.
Horseshit.
To those, I’d say: “I have less than you. Fuck your heirs. Gimme some of what you’ve labored for.”
Doesn’t seem fair now, does it?

Inheritance tax? Death tax?
Disproportionate theft, as dictated by modern day Pharisees and scribes, also known as law makers.
Cork soakers.
Each and every one of them, in both political parties.

Confiscatory games ? You mean like those played by muh capitalists Amazon, AT&T, Apple, Microsoft , Google, Facebook , IBM ,Tesla, Koch, Master Card, Pay Pal, or Bayer who receive hundred of billions of dollars taxpayers subsidies in order to hire HB1 visa’ed New Americans to replace the old Americans who won’ t work for slave labor wages ? Is this your Free Market capitalism or is it like communism and just hasn’t been implemented properly , yet ?

Capitalism is a myth . It’s merely a bullshit term used in a false dichotomy to prevent the hoi poi from uniting against the true enemy of America, the oligarchy.

And he was overwhelmingly reelected. There are many more who either don’t work or choose to be under employed that simply want to improve their position through government driven redistribution. Remember, he and crazy eyes, AOC, are from the same city.

Comrade De Blasio (true name Wilhelm) will be frog-marched to the firing squad once legitimate government is established again in this country. Blindfold, your honor?
