For a fight where a progressive is saying this kind of mealy mouth millionaire moderate politics is not what we need.
And then there are times to unite.
We have to elect a speaker together.
We have to pick what we're going to focus on.
And yeah, absolutely.
I love it.
I will point out that before I did that, I had put up a tweet that both praised the governor and the mayor for the pied-à-terre tax.
They both deserve real credit, just as you are saying.
This is a big deal, the pied-à-terre tax.
So what that is is for homes in New York valued at more than $5 million, owned by people who don't live there most of the time.
So these are people who live somewhere else.
Jeff Bezos near here has a pied-à-terre.
He pays almost nothing in taxes.
There was less than 1% he pays of his income in taxes because it's all in stock.
And then he doesn't even pay anything significant because there's not yet a pied-à-terre tax.
So this is a smart, we don't need people owning vacant housing in New York.
A great idea to charge an additional tax that's going to raise $500 million a year to
to pay for universal childcare in our schools and our streets, our parks, it's a great idea.
It only happened because Zoran campaigned hard to say, not only do we need universal childcare, which Governor Hochul then quickly said, let's work together on,
He said to keep it, to pay for it over time, maybe you got money to pay for it one year, we're going to need to do some new revenues and they've got to focus on taxing the rich.
