“For Our Old Friends in New York City” — A Facts Me Reality CheckIf you share one meme today — make it this one.Send it to our old pals in New York City, because the lights of the empire are dimming… and they have no one to thank but their ignorance, arrogance, and ideology.Let’s break it down.Pay attention, kids — this is how the fall begins.New York City holds 8.3 million people.Roughly 1.5 million are Muslim.And only about 35,000 residents earn over $1 million a year.So when you chant “tax the rich” and elect leaders like Zohran Mamdani to do it, understand what you’re really saying:You’re targeting 35,000 people to carry the financial weight of 8 million.The top 1.6% of earners — those making more than $500,000 a year — pay nearly half of all city income taxes.Statewide, the top 1% fund over 40% of New York’s tax revenue.In plain English: a tiny fraction of the population bankrolls nearly half of everything that keeps the city alive — from your schools to your subways.And when those people leave — and they will — you’ll learn the hard truth of socialism:You will own nothing, yet be accountable for everything.You wanted this.Remember that when the lights go out and the bill comes due.#ZohranMamdani #nyc #newyorkcity #socialism #MAGA #conservative #liberal #ignorance
