Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
Here's a sign of what's coming: A local union leader and first-time Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet, flipped a DEEPLY RED Texas Senate seat, on an unabashedly LEFT-WING working class platform, defeating Republican Leigh Wambsganss.
This WAS a reliably Republican district, that Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.
The only question is, if you still have (fair) elections by then.
Trump and his cronies are already working on all options to either postpone elections indefinitely, with some Trumped up martial law, Insurrection Act, National emergency declaration or whatever the fuck, or get his cronies (election officials or electors again) in, to steal the election for real this time. He has an army of thugs to keep you under control.
No, it's a sign that they don't believe right-wing lies anymore.
Most voted for Trump for affordability, but they are worse off than ever.
- About 22 million Americans enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans could see their net premiums more than double, because of Trump. Many of them can just not afford it anymore. If they suffer any health crisis, they'll have to choose between bankruptcy and death. With more uncompensated care, hospitals will raise their prices
to private insurers, including employer group plans, to offset losses. Most people are
not stupid (or at least not as stupid as the cult), they remember what Trump promised.
- Taxcuts for the wealthy, spending cuts and tariffs for the working class.
- Fastest rate of devaluation of the dollar since the 1971–1978 Bear Market. That means that everything foreign made that Americans buy is going up in price, on top of the tariffs. --------------------------------------- added after 5 hours
Interesting to add is that the Republican outspent the Democrat by 20 to 1 !
The Democrat ended up crushing the Republican, by a 31 point flip.
When Trump was asked about it, he pretended not to know,
but he had publicly endorsed the Republican and urged his voters to show up with his X post "Today is the day! ..."
Ananas2xLekker is a troubled man that is trained so ruggedly conforming to brainwashed trash.. He still doesn't get it even if you shove the truth directly into his face he blames Trump and all Gop's.. Some bastards on CNN stated that trump is a fascist and all his followers that don't know what a fascist is call them fascists as well.. He said all Jews are fascists and anyone voting for a fascist is a fascist.
This is by far the most stupidest retard I have seen with retired generals calling a voter with rights according to the constitution exercize their rights by voting for who and whatever the fuck they want.
I prayed to God to protect Israel back in 2014 after that mother fucking bastard cock sucker Obama did the Iran Deal... WELLLLLL,,, It worked and God answered my prayer..
The real truth is that the extreme left hates jews and free thinking people that can reason without being brainwashed.. They say certain phrases such as from the river to the sea palestine will be free.. UHHHHH,,, no.... Donald trump runs Gasa now LOL.... He didn't torture or kill them.. He is in charge because palestine created the horrific nazi murders and kidnaps of 1000s of Jews living in Israel. Much more than 9/11... therefore since it is a breach and sovereignty Israel declared war on gaza hinting of destroying the IRGC.. THis is happening right in front of our eyes,,, if you are blind or listen to the FAKE NEWS they will refuse to speak the truth...
So,,, the extremists Left covers up their crimes against humanity by calling you, me and other moral human beings with strong character the evil ones... I fucking hope they just all di* already and never come back... Just stay in hell..
No the baby that solves the problem is the Republican, that felt sorry for the other 1 that was to dumb to figure out,even after being shown, how to get to the bottle. THe republican was crying because he was aggravated with the dumb democrat and frustrated

If new york looses even a portion of it's financial hub that will prompt ALOT of people to leave to follow their jobs to lower cost living areas of texas. it would at least open up some apartments for the muslim mayor to rent out cheap to people that will tear them all up and not pay rent and have to be evicted.
so it's racist to think that the exit of stock trade income would harm the city?
It's racist to acknowledge the reason for that exit?

And also, Muslim is not a race, it is a "religion" so it's not racist to use that word. Matter of fact they probably enjoy being referred to by infidels as muslim, makes them feel "respected".
I didn’t say anything about Muslims.
Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is Ugandan-Indian; he is the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, born in Uganda to Indian parents, making him the first African-born mayor as well, with roots in both South Asia and East Africa.
No,I mentioned the mayor because he is a follower of the same "religion" as the folks that flew planes into the towers in 2001 killing 1000's. Religion is NOT RACE dingdong! Damn fools in new york should a known better. The victims familys, I doubt they voted for the asshole

It does when you describe a group of people as: “I am a American that doesn't like being terrorized by cave dwellers with no conscience that have pet goats for reasons besides the milk”
it's more than that. Wall Street is considered a great evil by Islamic fundamentalists.
The Quran explicitly forbids the practices that make certain types of investing risky or unethical. It does not name the "stock market" itself, as it did not exist 1,400 years ago, but the verses provide the ethical framework.
These are the specific prohibitions from the Quran that apply:
- Riba (Prohibition of Interest): This is the most direct and important prohibition.
The ban on interest is clearly established in several verses:
Quran 2:275: "...But God has permitted trade and forbidden usury [interest, Riba]." This verse clearly distinguishes between legitimate, risk-based trade (which includes approved investments) and guaranteed, exploitative interest income.
Quran 3:130: Calls on believers not to take "doubled and multiplied" interest.
- Maisir (g@mbling): The concept of g@mbling, which excludes modern speculation, is also forbidden:
Quran 5:90: “O you who have believed! Intoxicants and g@mbling [Maisir]... are abomination from the work of Satan; so avoid them...” This is used to prohibit excessive, high-risk trading.
Gharar (Uncertainty): The requirement for clear contracts and the avoidance of uncertainty is a general principle derived from the Quranic emphasis on fairness and justice in transactions.
They already hate America for constantly attacking them for their oil, so when they attack you back, they will find something that represents America's "evil" the most.
There is no plan to have anyone "bumming off their government".
Can you do anything else than only venting your prejudices?
Mamdani actually has plans to deliver many things that Trump promised,
but never intended to provide. It was just a ruse to steal votes from gullible people.
The plans of Mamdani STRENGHTEN the economy, because it's all investments
in people who are now struggling, to maximize their potential and spending power.
Top priorities of Zohran Mamdani for New York City:
1. Affordability & Housing
Mamdani’s central focus is lowering the cost of living, especially for renters.
* Freeze or sharply limit rent increases for rent-stabilized apartments
* Build roughly 200,000 permanently affordable homes over the next decade, prioritizing union labor
* Strengthen tenant protections and crack down on predatory landlords
* Expand supportive housing, including for formerly incarcerated and elderly residents
2. Cost Relief for Families
He emphasizes reducing everyday expenses for working families.
* Universal, free child care for children under five
* Fare-free buses to reduce commuting costs and improve transit access
3. Economic Justice & Tax Policy
To fund expanded services, Mamdani promotes progressive revenue policies.
* Higher taxes on high-income earners and large corporations
* Reducing excessive fines and bureaucratic hurdles for small businesses
* Stronger enforcement against wage theft, including by delivery and gig-economy companies
4. Transportation & Infrastructure
His transportation agenda centers on safety and accessibility.
* Expanded bus service and bus-priority corridors
* More protected bike lanes and safer street redesigns
* Pedestrian-focused urban planning
5. Public Safety & Community Wellness
Mamdani supports a non-traditional approach to public safety.
* Creation of a **Department of Community Safety** focused on prevention, crisis response, and social services
* Investments in violence prevention and mental-health response rather than policing alone
6. Governance & Schools
He has taken a pragmatic stance on city governance.
* Support for maintaining mayoral control of schools while reforming oversight
* Collaboration with education advocates and labor groups on school policy
where do you think the funds will come from to pay for all these free buses and shit? Taxpayer dollars will be sucked out of the citizens and then the "benefactors" will be leaching it from the government by using the "free" resources provided.
"Higher taxes on high-income earners and large corporations".
High-income earners and large corporations are leaching off the labor
of the working class. I am very much supportive of taxing them more
to get back some of the benefits of that labor.
Your own history shows that to benefit the whole of society.
The federal corporate income tax rate for large corporations in the U.S. was progressive, but the top statutory rate was 48% for much of the early 1970s.
The federal individual income tax was extremely high for the top earners.
Early 1970s (1970–1972), the top marginal rate was 71%.
There are already states with lower taxes than New York, so why are there still
so many there?
They don't have to LIVE there to tax them. They have income and property
in New York, so Mamdani can tax that income and property. They cannot divest from New York, because Wall Street is there. If they do, someone else just buys it.
It's a bullshit argument, made up to create a race to the bottom for their taxes.
FUCK THEM, start a race of their taxes upwards.
that is taxation without representation. I think there was a little tea party because of that a few century's ago?
If you have propety there,you sell it, What income? if they don't live there, where would the income be unless they had rental property's or something. As far as stocks, the stocks are not held there. Like mine there is not even a certificate any more sadly. it's online and on record at the company. I showed you a link to the founders of google leaving california in the dust a week or so ago.new york can be left to rot as well.
"taxation without representation"?
A large majority of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy.
"If you have propety there,you sell it" To someone who doesn't care about taxes?
The wealthy get income from ownership, not wages. You can't just move that.
If they get income from stocks, the state doesn't get taxes from that anyway.
An article online says "Larry Page has apparently left California personally and moved to states such as Florida — including buying high-value property there — amid the debate over a proposed California billionaire wealth tax."
So there is just a DEBATE, and he gives that as a reason. That's just nonsense. So he bought property in Florida and he sold it in California? How is that a loss to California? Some other wealthy person will own that property.
If more states are raising taxes on the wealthy, others will follow, because it's easy revenue. You can have a race to the bottom, until the wealthy pay no taxes at all, or you chose to reverse it. Stop cucking to the wealthy.
YOU are turning into a minority.
'Them' all bought guns in the meantime.
'Them' are all much smarter than you.
It will end up with you losing.
Did you hear any generals cheering for Pete Hegseth?
If looks could kill, little Pete would have burned like the demon he is.
Those generals are waiting for Trump to make the first move
and then they will wipe out all those traitors in an hour.
They didn't become generals by being as stupid as you people.
They understand the real meaning of The Constitution.
They won't kill Americans for your traitor and his billionaire friends.
It will be a bloodbath, but a short and decisive one, in which you will lose.

"New York lost $24.5 billion in state-adjusted gross income in 2021 as residents fled to New Jersey, Florida and other low-tax states, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service figures.
Nowhere was the state's outmigration more prevalent than in New York City, the nation's largest city with a population of 8.2 million. The Big Apple had a net loss of nearly 78,000 residents between 2022 and 2023, according to IRS data."
This shows what I am trying to tell you all along, tax and over regulate and people will LEAVE.
Not only the rich will leave but the folks that haul off their trash,fix their cars and keep the roads paved will leave as well. New york is the fastest growing shit hole on earth.
You/they are linking one fact with another. The fact that New York lost 78,000 residents
is not surely related with taxes going up. It is confusing CORRELATION with CAUSATION.
There are also lots of working class people moving out of New York, because they cannot afford to live there anymore. That's NOT because of taxes, that's because of capitalism making their houses and the cost of living ridiculously expensive. It's up to the people to vote for a major, who represents the idea of which people are allowed to live in a city.
Do the people want just wealthy people able to live in New York, or should working class people be able to live there too? The result is tax policy that might turn away some wealthy people, but WILL make it more affordable for the working class people.
That $24.5 billion figure isn't applicable. This refers to net adjusted gross income
moving out of the state, not the loss in taxes for the state.
If you look at the taxes that New York collected, there is NO decline:
2014-15: ~$43.7 B
2015-16: ~$47.1 B
2016-17: ~$47.6 B
2017-18: ~$51.5 B
2018-19: ~$48.1 B
2019-20: ~$53.7 B
2020-21: ~$53.7 B
2021-22: ~$55.0 B
2022-23: ~$58.8 B
2023-24: ~$53.8 B
2024-25: ~$61.2 B
Do you see a drop op $24.5 billion there?
It's just political actors trying to prove their idea, with data manipulation.
There is certainly a movement of people trying to avoid taxes.
But you forget that taxes ALSO move, in relation to people and business.
Poor states are trying to lure business with low taxes.
But when that results in more business, they can raise taxes again.
New York can raise taxes, because they have lots of business.
They have the luxury to raise taxes, without it affecting tax income.
When a state uses the higher taxes for the benefit of the working class,
those people are able to improve themselves AND improve the economy,
which in turn will increase the return in taxes for the state too.
Your thinking is completely fixed on the idea that wealthy people create wealth.
That's not true; the working class creates wealth and the wealthy just siphon it off.
The top 1% richest households in the US own approximately $50 Trillion to $52 Trillion. What wealth have they created for you lately? Do Americans have better healthcare, education, public transport, childcare, and overall quality of life, created by that top 1%?
did you google how often and how much taxes increased during that time? Our property taxes have went up twice in the past 5 years. which would over shadow people leaving if you only looked at tax income.
The top 1% richest households in the US own approximately $50 Trillion to $52 Trillion. What wealth have they created for you lately? Do Americans have better healthcare, education, public transport, childcare, and overall quality of life, created by that top 1%?
Will the 1% start creating anything good for normal people, when they own $100 Trillion?
At what point in their wealth growth, will the working class finally be better off?
Do we need to wait for them to leave to Mars?
You don’t need a green card, visa, or even to live in the US to buy property in the US.
In most countries, non-citizens can buy property. I can buy a home in Italy,
use it a week per year and rent it out to who ever I want the rest of the year.
Still, restrictions are very common, such as:
Limits on land vs apartments (e.g. foreigners can buy condos but not land).
Approval requirements or government permits.
Caps on how much or where foreigners can buy.
Extra taxes or fees for non-citizens.

It's just political actors trying to prove their idea, with data manipulation.
There is certainly a movement of people trying to avoid taxes.
But you forget that taxes ALSO move, in relation to people and business.
Poor states are trying to lure business with low taxes.

Limits on land vs apartments (e.g. foreigners can buy condos but not land).
Approval requirements or government permits.
Caps on how much or where foreigners can buy.
Extra taxes or fees for non-citizens.
