Geee Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 New York Post A caravan of protesters — some wielding plastic pitchforks — descended on the Hamptons Wednesday to blast the rich and decry the nation’s rising income inequality. More than 100 drivers and about 200 marchers paid a visit to the homes of some of the world’s wealthiest people, including ex-New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “Tax the rich, not the poor!” the protesters chantedoutside Bloomberg’s $20 million Southhampton mansion, with some calling the failed presidential candidate a “looter.” Protesters, several of whom came in from the Big Apple, demanded that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo raise taxes on the state’s 118 billionaires to make up for a steep revenue shortfall amid the coronavirus pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Simple question Quote “Enough is enough — it’s time for New York state to raise taxes on the rich instead of cutting services for working people,” said Alicé Nascimento, director of policy and research for New York Communities for Change, which helped organize the action. What will these rich people do? The Words Move Out...come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
