The Democrats are building a wall around Taylor Swift's $50M wedding in New York and requiring ID for anyone to enter, but if we do the same thing to our country they call it racist.
NYC taxes explained for people who don't pay attention:
Property tax. Income tax. Sales tax. Unincorporated business tax. Commercial rent tax. Hotel tax. Mortgage recording tax. Mansion tax. Utility tax. Congestion pricing. Twenty-plus taxes.
And the mayor wants more.
Let me show you what that actually feels like.
You're 26. First real job. $85,000. You feel rich.
Then you see your paycheck.
Federal takes a cut. Fine. Then New York State takes 6%. Then New York City takes another 3.5%. Then there's a "metropolitan commuter mobility tax" you've never heard of.
Your $85K is now $54K before rent.
You grab coffee. 8.875% sales tax. You take an Uber to the airport. Congestion pricing just added $9. Your landlord raised rent, he's passing along a property tax increase you'll never see on a bill but you're paying every month.
You're not rich. You're not even comfortable. You're just surviving. But fine. It's New York. You chose this.
Now here's the part nobody talks about.
In 2000, NYC's budget was $40 billion for 8 million people. That's about $5,000 per person.
Today it's $121 billion for 8.5 million people. $14,244 per person.
Population grew 6%. Inflation was 82%. Spending per person nearly tripled.
So things must be three times better, right?
In 2017, 51% of New Yorkers rated quality of life as good. Today it's 34%.
Only 12% think the city spends money wisely. Only 22% feel safe on the subway at night. Felony assaults hit a 24-year high.
They spend $31,000 per student on education. Less than half kids can read at grade level.
They tripled the spending. Everything got worse.
Where'd the money go?
Pensions up 115%. Outsourced contracts up $7 billion. A brand new $5 billion asylum seeker expense that didn't exist three years ago. Social services doubled. 302,000 city employees. Debt ballooning.
And the new mayor doesn't look at this and say "we need to spend better."
He says "we need to tax more."
A 2% income tax hike that would push the combined state and city rate to 16.8% -> the highest in the entire country. Tax increases that impact everyone.
His supporters chant "tax the rich" at rallies. The top 1% already pay 40% of the city's income tax. And they're leaving anyway. NYC's share of the nation's millionaires dropped from 7% to 4%. They have accountants. They have Florida.
You know who can't leave?
Your uncle with the restaurant. Your parents in that house. You, watching your paycheck disappear into twenty taxes before you can save a dollar.
You need to make $312,000 in New York to live the same lifestyle as someone making $125,000 in Houston.
Houston spends $2,850 per person. No state income tax. No city income tax. Population growing.
NYC spends five times more. Worse results.
NYC is a Netflix subscription that keeps raising the price while the product gets worse.
And you can't cancel.
$40 billion wasn't enough. $60 billion wasn't enough. $80 billion. $100 billion. Now $121 billion.
It will never be enough. Because the problem was never revenue.
There is enough money. There has always been enough money.
They don't need more of yours. They need to do better with what they already take.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
🚨 BREAKING: THOUSANDS of Nicki Minaj fans are jumping aboard the train to pass the SAVE America Act
SCOTT PRESLER: “To Nicki Minaj and The BARBZ, I wanted to personally thank you. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act!”
This is an 80-20 issue
NO DELAYS! 🇺🇸
🚨 WOW! Utah Republicans have reportedly secured the necessary signatures to PROCEED with Prop 4 — to OVERTURN activist judges and stop a new Democrat Congressional seat from forming
This is a huge win! Keep pushing 🔥
STOLEN SEATS: The Real House Majority
Republicans hold just a 4-seat margin in US House—but that's BY DESIGN.
THE THEFT:
18 seats stolen via illegal alien census counting
13 seats suppressed by racial gerrymandering mandates
35 TOTAL seats artificially transferred to Democrats
THE TRUTH:
Current: GOP 218 / Dem 214 (+4)
Reformed: GOP 256 / Dem 179 (+77)
This isn't a "narrow majority"—it's a SUPERMAJORITY held hostage by census fraud and judicial activism.
Time to restore constitutional representation.

@GOP@RealLindellTV@SpeakerJohnson@NRSC@MIGOP
The democrats laughed at me for traveling to Utah to personally collect hundreds of signatures
to repeal Prop 4.
I’ll be returning to Utah very soon to help make sure it’s defeated this November.
BREAKING 🚨 Dan Bongino just dropped the 🎤 demanding Republicans to get rid of the Filibuster
"We gotta get rid of the filibuster. Stops Democrats from their demographic destiny. We GOTTA NUKE the filibuster. NO BULLSH*T”
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE
.@LeaderJohnThune,
If you don’t bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor,
Republicans will likely lose both the House AND Senate this November.
If you are unwilling to wield power as the majority, you will soon be in the minority.
Peacefully and respectfully.
🚨 HOLY CRAP!!! Independent journalist @nickshirleyy just DROPPED A BOMB in California, he exposed OVER 30 “voters” all registered at ONE UPS STORE address… including a 100-YEAR-OLD who supposedly voted in the 2024 election?!
Senator Thune,
Please stop texting me until you bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate.
My wallet is closed until we have proof of citizenship + photo ID for the upcoming November elections.
@LeaderJohnThune
🚨 BREAKING: Nick Shirley has shifted to exposing VOTER FRAUD in California, and within HOURS, he found RAMPANT irregularities
30+ “voters” registered to a UPS Store, 125 y/o “voters” & more
Keep exposing Newsom’s corruption, @nickshirleyy!
🚨BREAKING: There is an ALL-OUT PUSH on Capitol Hill right now to surge the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor — so John Thune can get it to President Trump.
REP. MARY MILLER: "I don't understand the Senate because this is about the life of our country. Does the Senate not care? There's members there that have grandchildren. Do you not care what we're leaving our children and grandchildren? This is essential for our country to continue to be a free country!"
"We will NOT maintain our sovereignty as a country if we cannot have free and fair elections!"
"The Democrats are lying about people not being able to get voter IDs. They've insulted us rule people by saying we can't get voter ID. They are wanting to hang on to their power and they have bad ideas!"
"They know they need to cheat to get re-elected. That's what this is all about."
Yes! We need this!
Do you firmly support this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
🚨Sen Hagerty just CONFIRMED, Senate GOP are actively talking about NUKING the zombie filibuster to ram the SAVE Act through with 50 votes + VP Vance!
“Now that Susan Collins is ON BOARD, we’re laser-focused on forcing this to the floor, NO MORE DELAYS!”
Remember when Elon Musk acquired Twitter, then immediately fired 80% of the workforce, and how the app functions fine without them?
I imagine the same thing would apply to the federal government.
BREAKING:
Holy SHIIIIIIITTTTT.
The person responsible for setting up and organizing the Minnesota protests WORKS as a strategist for TIM WALZ.
If this isn't enough to ARREST Walz, then he will NEVER be arrested.
