Billionaires Aren’t the Enemy: A Rebuttal to Mamdani’s Socialist Vision 

Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old Muslim Democratic socialist immigrant running for NYC mayor, declared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that “we should not have billionaires” and proposed taxing the top 1%, singling out white New Yorkers, to address inequality. His divisive rhetoric and anti-wealth crusade threaten the core of American prosperity. This guy is a total idiot, and it scares the heck out of me that he won the primary and stands the likely winner of the upcoming election.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk built Amazon, Tesla, and SpaceX—innovations we rely on for convenience, jobs, and progress. Without their risk-taking, we’d lack the tools that define modern life. Beyond business, their philanthropy fuels culture: I can’t stand Michael Bloomberg’s politics, but I cannot ignore his $1.8 billion donation to Johns Hopkins. And how about Warren Buffett, his donations enrich our cities. Trump, another billionaire, is earning just $1 a year to be president — taking bullets to the ear instead of just sitting back and counting his fortune. If he didn’t have his billions, he’d have never become president in the manner he did.

Punishing wealth kills the drive to create, build, and give. Mamdani’s socialist vision ignores America’s strength: opportunity for all, regardless of color. Unlike dysfunctional systems in Islamic nations, America rewards those who seize chances. Some Americas risk everything to build empires; others decide to work a 9-5, others prefer sit back and do nothing but lean on welfare. That’s the beauty of America — it ain’t perfect but it works —- it’s called capitalism. Without capitalism, we’d be another stagnant shithole nation.

How dare the people of NYC vote for such a moron.
Mamdani blames billionaires for NYC’s affordability crisis, but the real culprit is government mismanagement—bloated bureaucracies, lobbyist-rigged tax codes, and unchecked immigration policies. For example, the NYC Democrats LOVE mass immigration. Well, the problem is this: legal and illegal immigration spikes demand for housing and jobs, driving up costs and depressing wages. Simple math eludes this Muslim socialist, whose worldview seems driven by Sharia — whereas smart folks like you and me prefer the Constitution.

BILLIONAIRE vs. BAD POLICY
Jeff Bezos, even though I can’t stand the guy, I will defend him herein.

Jeff is now spending $50 million on a European wedding. It’s a crazy amount of money, and the media frenzy is tiresome, but his wealth is earned. Like him or hate him, you must respect him — Bezos left a high-paying job and put it all on the line to launch a startup selling books online. Today, his Amazon sells everything, and it saves us time and money. Bezos busted his ass to make his fortune, and so he can spend as he pleases. The $412,000 median U.S. home price in the U.S., and the high cost of rents in NYC, isn’t his fault—it’s our government’s failures on inflation, over taxation, and mass immigration that causes a housing supply issue.

Bezos didn’t make it so tax breaks favor entrepreneurs who get to write off just about everything, legally, while the blue collar worker gets taxed to Hell and back. It is very unfair, I agree, but that’s a policy flaw — it’s not a billionaire’s plot to take over the little guy. The middle class suffers from a broken tax system, not wealth creators.

Mamdani’s call for racialized taxes on white people, and a billionaire purge, paired with his Muslim socialist lens, threatens NYC’s existence. If he wins the mayor’s race, NYC will look like Detroit and be as radically Islamic as London. If he wins the race, the Muslim world will think there is no limit to what they can conquer — the White House will be next. And make no mistake, they will do everything and anything possible to make it happen.

We don’t need prayer rugs in Times Square or policies that demonize success. Instead, we need to reform the tax code, streamline government, and control borders. We need to get back to teaching America 101 — a lesson that explains how even the poorest of kids can grow up to be rich. Somehow, our nation has forgotten that lesson. Billionaires aren’t the enemy—they’re the engine of innovation and generosity. Mamdani’s vision would choke that engine, leaving us poorer in every sense.

How NYC can vote for a guy who has lived here for less than 7 years and believes in the same religion as those scumbags who drove airplanes into the Twin Towers is beyond me. We are a Christian nation, we believe in one nation under GOD. Don’t like it, then get the f*ck out. I am sure plenty of billionaires are willing to buy his one way ticket back to the Islamic enclave he escaped.
