Bill de Blasio: ‘Help Me Tax the Wealthy, Help Me Redistribute Wealth’

TRANSCRIPT:

DE BLASIO: "You really want to change things in this city? Then everyone better change a lot of the way we live more foundationally. If you just talk about it and feel self-satisfied, God bless you. That is not actually going to change things. What changes things is redistribution of wealth. Tax the wealthy at a much higher level. And I just feel like this is a lot of cocktail party comfort going on rather than people honestly dealing with this issue. Help me tax the wealthy, help me redistribute wealth, help me build affordable housing in white communities if you want desegregation."
