    We cannot aford ideas without a plan for implementation or funding.

    From Zohran’s site:

    Taxes on big corporations and the wealthiest New Yorkers

    Zohran has a plan to bring down the cost-of-living through city-owned grocery stores, universal childcare, and other bold proposals, and he knows exactly how to pay for it, too. Zohran’s revenue plan will raise the corporate tax rate to match New Jersey’s 11.5%, bringing in $5 billion. And he will tax the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkers—those earning above $1 million annually—a flat 2% tax (right now city income tax rates are essentially the same whether you make $50,000 or $50 million). Zohran will also implement common-sense procurement reform, end senseless no-bid contracts, hire more tax auditors, and crack down on fine collection from corrupt landlords to raise an additional $1 billion.

      There’s some unspoken words there:

      We cannot aford ideas without a plan for implementation or funding.

      “…that must not impact our wealthy donors.”

      Shhhh, their corporate doners are trying to push propaganda through them! Stop defending a candidate who is not at all sympathetic towards the upper class!

        the DNC is so desperate they had to pull cumuo out of the dredges of the sewer as a candidate. im guessing alot of rich billionaires live in or around NYC so they wouldnt want a democrat mayor most of the time, they want a status quo to be maintained.
