 Guess which neighborhood playgrounds were better maintained? That's right, the rich ones were. That's another area where equality of money distribution needs to be righted.

"each according to his needs' eh?
You are such a communist.

If those people want better play grounds then they should make better life choices, earn more money, and pay for it themselves ... not demand a free ride and that others pay for it.   Voluntary charity would be fine, but forcing them to pay is not.

You should not throw around the he or she is communist idea when clearly you are unaware or uninformed if what exactly that means. I have read many times in others forums that being used as a scapegoat to attack others as to degrade their talking points.
it makes you look weak so going forward I would like to suggest you not do so.
Otherwise some may just start calling you a NAZI.

I clearly DO know what it means.
And I know the poster in question.
Mind your own business.

To each according to his needs.  Communism.
Want better playgrounds?
Make better life choices, get better paying jobs, and pay for it yourself.

Mamdani got the idea of taxing the rich from Massachusetts' tax program 'Fair Share' or 'Millionaire's Tax', which is highly successful and where the rich have not fled, and where the nonrich, young workers' fleeing unaffordable city living has slowed. Other states are following suit, such as Rhode Island plans a tax hike on vacation homes that are $1 Million and over named the "Taylor Swift Tax".

"Massachusetts voters heard the same arguments in 2022. Spearheaded by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, New Balance’s Jim Davis, and Boston investment firm CrossHarbor Capital Partners, the opposition argued that Fair Share would not address the state’s fiscal needs; it would create tax flight and punish homeowners selling on the market. Three years on, what are the effects of the millionaire tax? The evidence is that Fair Share revenue has exceeded expectations: it’s repaired bridges, funded bus routes, hired teachers, and made community college and school meals available to all. There has been no significant outmigration of the wealthy. In fact, the number of millionaires by net worth has increased by over 30 percent, and the outward tide of nonrich, young workers has slowed."
