If they aren't spending billions, the claim that billionaires are spending more money on the anti-Mamdani/pro-Cuomo campaigns than Mamdani's policies would cost them is flat-out wrong.
So...
You think that Mamdani's policies will cost multiple people over a billion dollars?
Facts:
They are billionaires.
Mamdani will raise their taxes
Assumptions:
A. They are likely spending more on Cuomo's campaign then they would pay in taxes
B. This is because if Mamdani's policies are successful they'd see wider adoption.
Besides the fact that you somehow think the taxes will cost any single person a billion dollars, the big flaw is you think the office of the NYC mayor is the full war, and not just a battle.
Billionaires will spend more than Mamdani will cost them, because they see it as a single battle in a very long class war. Win or lose the battle, they will keep fighting the war
Do you think that I think that multiple people are spending over a billion dollars each? Obviously not. But collectively, probably?
I haven't seen so much as a hint of evidence for this.
