NYC millionaire tells governor wealthy should pay higher taxes to fund public services

An unnamed New York City millionaire told journalists that Governor Kathy Hochul should increase taxes on high earners, stating he would not notice the financial impact on his own life. The man argued that tax increases on wealthy individuals would generate revenue to help millions of New Yorkers while leaving his standard of living unchanged. He referenced recent federal tax cuts he received, suggesting that state-level redistribution could offset gains for the wealthy without harming them. The interview was filmed and posted to YouTube by More Perfect Union, a progressive media outlet.
