New Yorkers lash out at Mamdani over potential tax hike
New York City residents expressed their disdain for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new proposal that would increase property taxes by 10%.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
With a blizzard bearing down on New York City, socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has offered citizens a chance to make a few extra bucks removing snow, but there is a catch, and it's a doozy: As racist as the Left tells us this is, workers must bring valid ID.
Say it ain’t so, Zo. We know from the voter ID debate that marginalized Brown and Black people just can’t figure out how to get driver's licenses. According to Kamala Harris, it has something to do with not having a Kinkos. So why is Hizzoner pushing Jim Crow 2.0 here?
Oh, and, the ID required includes a Social Security card, so in addition to excluding minorities, Mamdani is barring illegal immigrants.

Is the mayor worried that people may not be honest about who they actually are? That seems like a strange thing to worry about in hiring........
