It’s no secret that affordability remains a top-of-mind issue for American taxpayers and consumers. Bizarrely, despite pledging to raise taxes and expand unaffordable programs, far-left politicians have enjoyed electoral success.

In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pushing sweeping new tax hikes. In Seattle, Mayor Katie Wilson is waving “bye” to businesses fleeing her state’s aggressive new tax increases. And in Washington, D.C., mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George, a Democrat, will inherit a new tax on everyday goods, with the D.C. City Council dead set on passing a 20-cent tax hike on all third-party deliveries.
