Taxes are already too high in NYC. A single adult in NYC with a $100k salary has an effective overall tax rate of 31.5%, and 9% of that is city and state.
Trying to raise the rates higher is insane. We have a spending problem, not an income problem.
Not to mention that the timing of this is just absurd. Everything that makes NYC great has been closed for a year. The next mayor wants people to pay more, but won’t commit to reopening the city? Why would the “rich” stay? Why would anyone stay? For the trash, and piss?
