New Yorkers are speaking out on a contentious issue: a proposed millionaire's tax to fund the city's budget. According to a recent survey by Emerson College Polling, a significant majority of residents in the Big Apple are in favor of imposing a higher tax rate on the city's wealthiest residents. The poll found that a substantial 67% of New Yorkers support the idea, while only 24% are opposed. The proposal, which would target individuals with incomes above $5 million, aims to generate much-needed revenue for the city's cash-strapped budget. As the city continues to navigate its financial challenges, this poll suggests that residents are willing to consider a more progressive tax system to address the issue.
