You I and We Are Being Robbed Blind By The Very Same People Who Presume To Tell Us What's Right And What's Wrong.
As Mayor one of my first pririties will be to recover New York City's share of this loot which is being hidden from the tax authorities all over the world by the one percent. Now the global GDP is around 70 trillion dollars. New York City's GDP is around 1.9 trillion dollars. So our city accounts for around two percent of the world's economic output. Now what is two percent of 31 trillion dollars? Around 60 billion dollars, that's what. This of course may or may not be the amount of OUR MONEY that's being hidden, it's a ballpark figure. Any way you look at it there's a lot of money tht belongs to the New York City treasury that's being hidden by these vampires all the while thousands of our children are supposed to sit in classrooms plagued with PCBs that cause mental and physical problems including Attention deficit disrder and cancer. They are supposed to wait ten more years because there is not enough money supposedly to do it right, like it's a major public health emergency. This is why the media does not pay attention to the issue of PCBs in our children's classrooms, and why Bloomberg's "plan" to remove these toxins from our children's environment over ten years gets no scrutiny while some penny ante political hack who supposedly shook down 20,000 dollars gets screaming front page headlines in the newspapers.
A global consortium of journalists actually dug up the names, amounts and account numbers of the tax dodgers who use the British Virgin Islands, The Cayman Islands and the Cook Islands to hide their loot. Yet and still these journalists have not yet released this information in detail and might not ever do so. If NYPD's detectives are good for anything at all they will get this information and we will commence prosecutions and claw backs post haste. (search consortium 31 trillion to see who cares about righting this grand theft.). Is there even more money being hidden? You bet there is. NYPD detectives are supposedly too busy to investigate vehicular assault and mansoaughter cases, but as mayor I will turn their priroties around. 1- Do investigations when motorists injure and kill people. 2- Get us our money back! If you cannot do these things what good are you, why do we need you???
An estimated one third of the world's wealth is concealed from tax authorities in this manner. While it's been very well known for a long time finally someone - a private consortium of journalists - has excavated the who, how much, and where of a lot of this hidden stash of the one percent, Not only is this stash hidden for tax purposes, no a lot of it is outright dirty money.
The mainstream media is not getting very excited yet but I have a feeling that a lot of very interesting material is yet to be made public and that a lot of one percenters world wide are quite worried. Somehow, people, you and I and all of us have to give them good reason to quake.

Say what you think. O know I propose something very drastic here- that you "waste your vote" on a taxi driver who has no campaign fund. I say let's shock the pundits, the fake experts and talking head morons. Let's sho the world that there are thousands of New Yorkers who want a real change of agenda aau from the one percent and who don't give a damn what the idoptoc experts say.
