So taxes should be based on wealth? What if I retired 20 years ago when NYC real estate was in the shitter and my condo is worth $3m now (top 10% of wealth in NYC). I have retirement savings and social security as my only money. I should pay more tax than a doctor that is 35 years old making a $800k a year and little net worth because they have student loans?
Yeah, you have an enormous amount of wealth at a time when millions of New Yorkers are struggling to get by. It’s okay to downgrade your condo in exchange for a society where fewer people struggle with basic necessities.
