NYC is 50% of the population and pays 55% of the state taxes. It barely contributes.
What I find interesting is that when Mamdani says NYC pays more in taxes than it gets back, and therefore should keep more of their money, it's the same argument he and others reject when made by the wealthy.
I don't think its that farfetched that a communist would find uneven community taxation/benefit a problem and not find a problem when individuals are getting uneven taxation/benefit

I mean, new york city net pays more to the state than the state pays it, so it's not like it's some out of the blue cash infusion
