No? They won’t need to. Did Mamdani pay off the deficit in NYC by raising taxes or did he just make some of the rich pay some of their fair share? Taxing second homes and what not. I’ll give you a hint. It’s the latter.
After inheriting a $12 billion gap in the budget…while critics claimed the only possible way to balance NYC’s budget would be to raise property taxes or slash city services, his team “rejected that idea” and still managed to bring the deficit down to zero. “We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people,” Mamdani said in the video’s caption. “We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.”
Do you think Texans would want to pay higher taxes? That’s necessary to pay for Mamdani’s programs.

I know it seems crazy to have politicians actually work for the working class but this is what it is supposed to look like.
