If you thought Nanny Bloomberg was a stitch, get a load of this guy, now the Democratic candidate, pushing he will solve “income inequality”.
Daily Beast apparently thinks that people are poor, uneducated and live in public housing on my dime because conspiracies. Or something…
Via The Daily Beast:
Bill de Blasio’s rise from the middle of the pack to Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City was fueled by a single message: New York has become a city of haves and have-nots and it will be the charge of Mike Bloomberg’s successor to remedy this problem.
Even as rivals accused the de Blasio campaign of dividing the city—an accusation likely to increase in volume as he gears up to take on Republican Joe Lhota in the general election—the public advocate stayed on point, decrying the “tale of two cities.”
He pointed to stats showing that nearly half of New Yorkers were at or near the poverty line and based his campaign around a plan to tax those who make over $500,000 a year in order to fund universal pre-kindergarten and after-school programs for middle-schoolers.
