'I don't think we should have billionaires': Mayor Zohran Mamdani in his own words

[PCB66]

7. I personally have no problem with billionaires

For instance, I don't like Bill Gates as a person but he created products that I use and have greatly enhanced productivity not only in the US but all over the world.

Microsoft employ tens of thousands of well paid employees. The corporation pays hundreds of millions in taxes. Gates gives tens of millions each year in charity.

The same can be said said about Jeff Bezos. Don't like him but he created a service that I use all the time. Thousands of employees. Millions in taxes, etc.

There are exceptions Like Musk this year but billionaires have mostly supported Democrats.

The question is would these businesses have been created and grown without the incentive of big bucks.

I don't know if we will ever know the answer to that.

However, the last thing they need to do in NY is to drive out the tax base. We certainly don't need any more NY fled billionaires here in Florida. We have one too many now.
