Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.
The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.
The rich assume many forms but can be identified readily when banding together with the other rich. Always ready to prey upon the poor and parasitize the government, the seemingly only means by which to stay rich, they form slimey pools and biofilms in places of power and seats of privilge that make it difficult to be rid of their pathogenicity.
