If someone wants to buy a $5M apartment and leave it empty, that’s their property, their choice—not yours to prey on because you need more revenue for failing socialist experiments. You’re not funding “free” child care. You’re laundering millions through the same bloated bureaucracy that’s already driven businesses, residents, and investment out of NYC. New York’s multi-billion deficit was caused by decades of reckless spending. Every time you “tax the rich,” capital flees, property values drop, construction halts, jobs vanish, and the tax base shrinks. We’ve seen it in city after city. The ultra-wealthy don’t stay and pay—they leave. The middle class gets stuck with the bill. The empty luxury units you hate will stay empty longer because you made ownership toxic. This “progressive” tax is proof that socialists like you view citizens as ATMs, not free individuals. Keep this up and watch the last productive people and dollars flee faster than you can tweet “equity.” #TaxationIsTheft
