Dear Mayor Mamdani, Just Wondering - You Planning To Pay Your Own Millionaires' Tax?

Our new socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has proposed many destructive initiatives.  But if there is one that stands out above all the others as his signature issue, it is his plan to raise income taxes on the “ultra-wealthy,” which he has defined as those people earning $1 million of more per year.  The City of New York does not have the authority on its own to raise income tax rates, either at the State or City level, so he has requested that the State Legislature enact his proposed premium taxes on “millionaires.”

Here’s what I’m wondering:  If the Legislature goes along with Mayor Mamdani’s request, does he plan to pay the new taxes himself?

You might ask, does Mamdami have income in excess of $1 million per year?  That depends on what counts as “income.”  His official salary is $258,000, which would appear to leave him far below the million dollar threshold.  

But how about the perks?  To start with, there’s Gracie Mansion, into which he recently moved.  Here is a picture:
