The Brooklyn Borough president won the Democratic primary by being the only candidate to make fighting the deadly crime surge the centerpiece of his campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now Adams is smashing another shibboleth of the left, one that says success should be punished and that the wealthy should be treated as banks fit to be robbed.<\/p>\n<p>He started by saying in a CNBC interview that Rep. Alexandria Occasio-Cortez sent the wrong message with her \u201cTax The Rich\u201d gown at the Met Gala.<\/p>\n<p>New York, he said, \u201cmay have 8 million people, but 65,000 pay 51 percent of our income taxes. And if you say to those 65,000 to leave, then we\u2019re not going to have the firefighters, the teachers, all of those basic things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To New York Dems and their progressive fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers such as AOC, Adams is speaking a foreign language. Their central idea \u2014 that government knows best so it should get more and more of your money \u2014 has no clear limiting principle.<\/p>\n<p>New York is already the nation\u2019s tax capital, but it\u2019s never enough. God forbid a city official should actually call for a tax cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adams, who faces Republican Curtis Sliwa in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> election, is almost certain to be elected, so every comment he makes now can be read as a signal about the direction of his administration. It is a giant leap from a borough hall to City Hall, but \u00adAdams seems to be preparing himself for a fast start by targeting the problems that grew during the last two years.<\/p>\n<p>Crime, for example, began a relentless climb in 2020 after the \u00adGeorge Floyd protests and riots, and it has changed the city in fundamental ways. Random gunfire and street assaults have created wide public fear that the bad days of the \u201970s and \u201980s are returning.<\/p>\n<p>Adams made it clear during the campaign that it wouldn\u2019t h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en on his watch. A former cop who had his battles with the NYPD, he nonetheless brings a passion and knowledge that the other candidates couldn\u2019t match and, frankly, didn\u2019t seem to take seriously.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GeorgeFloydprotests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Scenes from a chaotic protest over the death of George Floyd in New York, NY on May 30, 2020. \" class=\"wp-image-19536578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GeorgeFloydprotests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GeorgeFloydprotests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GeorgeFloydprotests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Rampant crime and shootings have soared across the five boroughs since the George Floyd protests in late May 2020.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Christopher Sadowski<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now he\u2019s also focusing on the insanely high tax structure and the left\u2019s destructive attitude about other people\u2019s money. Already his commonsense understanding about tax disincentives marks him as a rare bird in his party.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fact that he recognizes the link between the steady stream of upper-income New Yorkers leaving the city and state and the ability to hire teachers, police officers and others for basic services provides a contrast with the typical nonsense coming from City Hall.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio, for example, said this in his 2019 State of the City speech: \u201cHere\u2019s the truth, brothers and sisters, there\u2019s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city. It\u2019s just in the wrong hands!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Adams made an important, related point in the CNBC interview. He said the city should first cut the waste out of its budget before trying to raise taxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saying, \u201cWe\u2019re wasting tax dollars,\u201d he added, \u201cLet\u2019s make sure we get our house in order through our agencies. And then let\u2019s talk about how much we need.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He cited the city\u2019s budget of $98 billion, an increase of $30 billion since de Blasio took office in 2014, and asked, \u201cHow much of that are we hemorrhaging?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great question and here\u2019s a number that suggests the answer is huge. At $98 billion, the city budget is nearly as large as that of the entire state of Florida, which will spend $101 billion this fiscal year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another comparison is that New York state\u2019s current budget is $212 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Where in the hell does all the money go?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, neither the city nor the state lacks money. What they lack are disciplined and honest public servants.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in another interview, \u00adAdams said he sees a hostile view in government toward both existing companies and entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, no one wants to do business in the city,\u201d Adams told Bloomberg Radio. \u201cWe have been defined as a business-enemy city instead of a business-friendly city.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Bill-de-Blasio-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"New York City mayor Bill de Blasio\" class=\"wp-image-19536604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Bill-de-Blasio-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Bill-de-Blasio-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Bill-de-Blasio-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s irresponsible spending has ballooned the city budget to nearly $100 billion with no results to show for it.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jeff Kravitz\/FilmMagic<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The odd thing is that nobody in or around government could disagree with anything he said on taxes, spending or business attitudes.

In that sense, Adams will have an easy act to follow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, he will continue to aim high and fulfill the vision he proclaimed while primary votes were being counted. He called himself then the new \u201cface of the Democratic Party\u201d and vowed, \u201cI am going to show America how to run a city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Godspeed to that.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lefty_Joe_kowtows_to_the_UN\"><\/span>Lefty Joe kowtows to the UN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not quite right to say President Biden gave a speech to the United Nations Tuesday.
