Summary

Tax the rich? More like tax the jobs away. Billionaire hedge fund titan Ken Griffin is scaling back in New York City and pouring jobs into Miami as a DIRECT response to socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “tax the rich” antics. This could be the beginning of the wealthy exodus Democrats fear most. In a stunning move, Griffin cited Mamdani’s creepy viral video — filmed outside his $238 million penthouse — as the final straw. Instead of expanding Citadel’s massive Park Avenue project in NYC, the firm is supersizing its Miami headquarters. Other Wall Street giants like Apollo are eyeing moves to Florida or Texas too. New Yorkers are about to feel the pain of lost jobs, shrinking tax revenue, and a dying financial capital. We also cover: David Hasselhoff gets a NEW hip & knee. President Obama on aliens & message to Republicans. Property taxes are UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Delta to cut snacks & drinks on short flights. CNN founder Ted Turner dies at 87. This story exposes the dangerous reality of socialist policies: Attack job creators and they leave, taking opportunities with them. Griffin and his team have already paid billions in taxes while supporting major charities — yet radical Democrats treat them like enemies. 👍 Like if you want common-sense policies that keep jobs in America. 💬 Comment below: Should NYC apologize to Griffin?
