N.Y. Mayor de Blasio: ‘Our mission is to redistribute wealth’

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared last week that the only way to end the structural racism that plagues New York City public schools, is to redistribute the city’s wealth.

During a coronavirus news conference, the progressive mayor described his efforts to “profoundly change the distribution of resources.”

“I like to say very bluntly that our mission is to redistribute wealth,” said the second-term mayor. “A lot of people bristle at that phrase, and that is in fact the phrase we need to use.”

He went on to say that for his full tenure in office thus far he has been working to create a more equitable distribution of resources among the city’s public schools. “It means changing school funding formulas,” he said. “It is time to start using every tool at our disposal to address inequality and improve the education of all children.

Two weeks ago, homeless families of New York City and their legal representatives filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming 27 homeless shelters across the boroughs were not receiving reliable internet service, causing school-age children to struggle with remote classes during the pandemic.

  1. Agreed, he’s lying through his teeth if you think he wants to give people his own money. He wants to become richer while making other poorer and more reliant on the machine.

  2. As the economic outlook continues to be pushed over the edge in NYC, as more businesses fail or relocate, finding the money to redistribute becomes harder. Duh.
