Zohran Mamdani's recent Democratic primary victory in New York City has sparked concern among wealthy individuals like Bill Ackman, who fears an exodus of affluent taxpayers. Mamdani's progressive agenda includes a millionaire tax, projected to raise $4 billion annually from the top 1% of earners, which he argues currently hold 35% of the city's income. This funding aims to support initiatives like universal childcare and affordable housing, while he critiques previous tax cuts that benefited wealthy taxpayers, notably under the Trump administration's 2017 tax overhaul.
