Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” on Sunday — and also asserted that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners.

“That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“We’ve seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable. It’s one that actually Eric Adams ran on, saying that he would change in the first 100 days,” he added.

The presumptive Democratic nominee for New York City mayor also shrugged off concerns that invoking race could alienate voters, arguing that he’s “just naming things as they are.”

The socialist also bemoaned the shrinking tax base in the Big Apple but pinned the blame on the soaring cost of living pushing people out of the city while touting his plans to raise taxes on the 1%.

“We are talking about our tax base growing smaller and smaller each day, with New Yorkers leaving to New Jersey, to Pennsylvania, to Connecticut,” Mamdani bemoaned.” If we do not meet this moment, we will lose the city.”

Mamdani claims the proposal was “not driven by race.”

While acknowledging that he doesn’t have the power to raise taxes at the level he wants without the state government’s approval, Mamdani pointed to his ability to take what “is considered a nonstarter and make it seem inevitable.”

He also suggested that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

“I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly,” he said.

New York City is home to more billionaires than any town in the world — with 123.
