New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has exposed Democrats' deceptions about their tax-hike agenda, suggesting that middle-class families can receive government benefits without having to pay more in taxes. His proposal for a nearly 10 percent property tax hike on hard-working families exemplifies the "Kinsley gaffe," where politicians inadvertently speak the truth about massive tax increases on the middle class. This comes as a stark warning for the public about the increasing cost of government programs and unlimited spending on struggling families' tax rates. The author also notes that the federal debt will soon reach an all-time high as a share of the country’s gross domestic product.
