Tax revenues are collapsing in New York. With that, the dream of Islamic socialist Zoran Mamdani to sell the American electorate the supposed miracles of socialism has come to an end. Only fools refuse to learn: Those who bite the hand that feeds them will eventually starve.<\/p>

Socialism always ends in the same misery. Quite apart from the fact that it represents a vulgar and contempt for human dignity ideology, its fiscal parasitism is impossible to overlook. Put simply: socialism functions only as long as it can feed on the economic substance of the middle class and the wealthy. Only by disregarding civilizational principles such as private property and individual autonomy can the advocates of this doctrine temporarily conceal growing economic inefficiencies through a continuous raid on productive wealth.<\/p>\n

The inherent contradiction of socialism can be perfectly observed in New York\u2019s current mayor. Like every socialist, Zoran Mamdani requires a productive, wealth-generating society as his source of financing. Yet through an ever-expanding network of state-directed structures, such as municipal supermarkets, free public transportation, or city-owned enterprises, he undermines the very substance and potential of the citizenry to work toward a prosperous future. Mamdani received the first bill for his aggressive socialist campaign in the world capital of capitalism after only six months.<\/p>\n

According to calculations by the Citizens Budget Commission, New York is now losing around $11 billion in annual income tax revenue. The reason: In recent years, the share of millionaires residing in the state of New York compared with America\u2019s entire millionaire population has already fallen from 12.7 percent to 8.7 percent.<\/p>\n

It is a first, substantial warning shot: Through aggressive rhetoric, additional taxes, higher top tax rates, and a planned increase in wealth taxation, Mamdani is accelerating a trend that had already begun to erode New York\u2019s tax base.<\/p>\n

The principle is simple: As long as alternatives exist — such as moving to sunny Florida or business-friendly Texas — mobile wealth and high performers will choose places that do not portray them as enemies of society and that do not wage a fiscal campaign against their life achievements or those of their families.<\/p>\n

\n

\"ChatGPT\"<\/figure>\nMamdani\u2019s tax policies are strikingly similar to the ambitions of Germany\u2019s disastrous governing coalition. New York City\u2019s corporate tax rate is supposed to rise from 7.25 to 11.5 percent. At the same time, millionaire income earners would face a special tax of 5.88 percent instead of the current 3.88 percent. A special tax on unused luxury apartments is also being considered.<\/p>\n

Much like the populist left-wing policies pursued by Friedrich Merz in Germany, Mamdani is attempting to solve economic stagnation through central planning and state-backed credit programs. What they all share is the attempt to blame business leaders for the paralysis within companies. The real estate sector provides a particularly clear example: Economic decline is never attributed to excessive regulation, high taxes, or — in the case of construction — rent controls that destroy investors\u2019 expected returns. The blame always lies elsewhere.<\/p>\n

This is how childish minds behave — individuals socialized in insulated urban environments who have rarely come into prolonged contact with the realities of everyday life for ordinary citizens or with the mechanisms of the real economy.<\/p>\n

The Mamdani example demonstrates what could await the United States if socialists gain the upper hand within the Democratic Party and emerge victorious in the upcoming elections: the re-Europeanization of American politics, a renewed synchronization with Brussels and London, where efforts to build a socialist system are being accelerated.<\/p>

On the old continent, this system design is already taking concrete shape: a state-directed economy built around green industry and an oversized military apparatus, financed through higher taxes, wealth levies, and climate-related charges. In order to prevent the already mentioned flight of wealth and capital, barriers to capital mobility around the eurozone are being created through digital identity systems and the digital euro. The fear of capital flight is real.<\/p>\n

In Europe, they know one thing: The transformation toward statism can only succeed with American backing.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s planned massive tax increases create the impression that both Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the European Commission in Brussels are firmly counting on a Democratic Party victory in the midterm elections this year and in two years. They are playing for time, attempting to simply wait out the \u201ctroublemaker\u201d in the White House, and ignoring the fact that Donald Trump has initiated an economic policy shift that will outlast his time in office.<\/p>\n

Neither Berlin nor Brussels appears remotely interested in making the European economy fit for global competition. They stay the course, regulate wherever bureaucracy allows, and provide one opportunity after another for their competitors, who are attracting European capital without having to make any major effort.<\/p>\n

Above all, it was the deregulation of the energy sector and the abandonment of Europe\u2019s climate fetishism that initiated a capital inflow helping to drive America\u2019s reindustrialization. Europe — more precisely, EU-Europe — is mutating into the antagonist of freedom, a handbook demonstrating exactly how politics should not be conducted.<\/p>\n

European policy has been reduced to a repair operation for the grand social experiment of the green transformation.<\/p>\n

The massive tax increases awaiting Germans must also be understood as a response to the renewed competition for investment location with the United States. Germans should therefore prepare themselves for the possibility that value-added taxes will soon be raised, that the top income tax rate will continue to increase, and that it will capture an ever-larger share of incomes. Inheritance taxes will rise just as social security contributions will. The state is attempting to salvage what remains of its system of favoritism: because investment is no longer taking place in Germany, capital is flowing to wherever it can achieve higher returns. And that place, whether one likes it or not, is the United States.<\/p>\n

This remains true at least until the day when figures such as Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Bernie Sanders determine the direction of what is still the freest society in the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>
