In Case You Missed It… Sen. Rick Scott in the NY Post: Mamdani made Ken Griffin a target — and cemented NYC’s death spiral April 24, 2026 NAPLES, Fla. – Today, Senator Rick Scott published an op-ed in the New York Post arguing against wealth tax proposals pushed by blue state socialists like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the death spiral ahead for New York if they keep villainizing their biggest tax base. In the op-ed, Senator Rick Scott wrote, ”Last week, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood outside Ken Griffin’s apartment building and grinned, ‘Today we’re taxing the rich.’ He said it like he was declaring victory. It was actually a eulogy for one of the greatest cities in the world. … ‘Tax the rich’ (or as de facto Democratic Party spokesperson Hasan Piker would probably put it, “Kill the rich”) has become the rallying cry for a party that either doesn’t understand the competitive landscape between states, or doesn’t understand basic math.’ … The competition between states gets more intense every day. Blue states want to tax their way into prosperity, but it always fails. Mamdani can keep hosting photo ops outside billionaires’ buildings. Meanwhile, the people funding his city’s budget will keep doing what New Yorkers have been doing for years: They’ll call the movers.” Read the full article here . ### https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/4/in-case-you-missed-it-sen-rick-scott-in-the-ny-post-mamdani-made-ken-griffin-a-target-and-cemented-nyc-s-death-spiral
