Is DeBlasio that deluded or just another symptom of atlas shrugged prophecy?

    Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Clause and his name is De Blasio. And yes, dear, he Is that stupid. He failed to realize that his bag of goodies were not free, His elves want to be paid.

    How much longer can these metropolitan areas, i.e.; Chicago, NYC, San Fran, LA, etc., go on before a total collapse? Detroit came close.

    the people of the city of ny are getting what they deserve for electing him and then reelecting him.
    he is probably stating what so many other politicians will not, and this is get rid of personal property but that is happening anyway but not fast enough for jackasses like deblas!

    Property rights exist only on a very limited scale already, he just wants to remove what is left. The government can already tell you what you can or cannot build, what color to paint it, rent control it and indebt it without the owners permission (property tax) and remove it if the owner fails to pay the debt he did not incur and did not want because after all his neighbors wanted the debt and voted for it and they feel the fact that the owner didn't want the debt is irrelevant. Then Donald Trump proved that you don't own your property when he sued some owners for their property claiming that he could build something that would generate more tax revenue and the socialist thieves used the argument and socialist Supreme Court backed them up ruling against the individual property owner. We are slaves of the state.

    Send him to help the starving people of Venezuela. Surely he can tell them how to do Communism better.

    And next, city government determines which person goes where, how much to contribute, what to do for the public good, and how big the soda can be. I once loved the skyline, no more, it has come to represent the takeaways.

    I have heard it said several times, although without source or any attribution, the the mayor is a "Card Carrying member oif the ACP". Not sure that is strictly true, but his comments about planned economies etc sure lend credence to that comment.

    Bloomberg wasn't a whole lot better. Perhaps not as blatant or bat crap crazy, but a socialist as well.

    NY should send him on a 5 year junket to communist China - and the rest of NYC can follow him if they desire socialism as much as he does.
