Believe it or not, Zohran Mamdani just did conservatives a great favor. Within weeks of taking office, he has exposed one of Democrats’ great deceptions over the past three-plus decades: that middle-class families can receive myriad government benefits and programs without having to pay more in taxes for them.
By conceding that his costly agenda may require raising taxes not only on “the rich” but the middle class, New York’s novice mayor broke one of the major taboos of left-wing politics. His proposal for a nearly 10 percent property tax hike on hard-working families epitomizes the “Kinsley gaffe,” in which a politician inadvertently speaks the truth — in this case, that the Democrat agenda necessitates massive tax increases on the middle class.
