Socialist NYC Mayor wants to raise DEATH TAX to 50% - He wants Your House!

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposed estate tax changes are drawing heavy criticism. The plan seeks to lower the estate tax exemption threshold from $7 million to a mere $750,000 while hiking the tax rate to 50%. Critics, like Bruce Blakeman, argue this will devastate middle-class families, forcing them to sell their homes to cover the exorbitant taxes. With average home values exceeding $750,000 in many New York counties, even modest estates could be impacted. Assemblyman Michael Tannousis argues that this 'tax the rich' scheme is actually a middle-class assault. The proposal aims to close New York's $5.4 billion budget gap, but opponents contend the cost will be far too high, potentially causing irreparable harm to New York homeowners. Is this a necessary measure or a step too far?
