advocating...i.e. tax breaks for the very wealthy as opposed to them paying their fair share...for more on that, check out the linked article which proposes using our tax code to rein in the ever expanding gap between CEO and average worker compensation.
btw, Mamdani is only calling for a 2% tax increase on those making over $1M/yr., and quite a few make a lot more than that. Note that back in the 1950's the top tax rate for the wealthiest Americans was on the order of 90%...and yet the USA thrived.
Make your voice heard to more than the UHND Open Forum...tell your Representative and Senators how you feel about all this.
