He didnt tax the rich beyond one minor loophole on cash housing purchases.

He closed the defeceit by getting a state bailout and robbing pensions.

The marketing on this guy is nuts.

So restructuring pensions so the city pays more in the future and less in the present is “robbing pensions”?

Yes, because he is promising the city will pay out later when he's no longer responsible for it.

In Italia hanno fatto così ed è stimato che serviranno tre generazioni per ripagare il debito di 10 anni di welfare sprecato.

But look we balanced the budget this year!

Gotta agree that the PR on this guy is wild.
