Steven Roth, head of Vornado Realty Trust, slammed Zohran Mamdani after the mayoral candidate proposed higher taxes on luxury second homes worth over $5 million in New York City.
During an earnings call, Roth argued that phrases like βtax the richβ promote hatred toward wealthy people in the same way racial slurs target minorities. He said billionaires and rich business owners represent the βAmerican dream,β create jobs, donate heavily to charity, and should be βpraised and thankedβ rather than vilified.
Mamdaniβs proposal and a campaign video promoting it, quickly triggered backlash from major business figures and property developers.
