   I disagree. He appears to think of himself as another   
   Obama. He expects to be loved for everything he has   
   proposed. It's just that he will soon (if not already)   
   confronting the real world, and all his silly fantasies   
   will soon be crumbling around his feet.

   He's not a fiscal reformer. His plans will drive all   
   the productive wealthy people out of New York City,   
   leaving behind all the problems -- with no productive   
   people remaining to pay the necessary taxes to fix it.   
      
   That's why the Soviet Union failed -- the first thing   
   the commies did was get rid of all the rich people by   
   confiscating their wealth. Then there was no one who   
   could produce anything.   
      
   It's the lesson North Vietnam discovered when they   
   enslaved the formerly free people of South Vietnam   
   (who were the only productive people in that country   
   after it united). So rather than become another North   
   Korea, the commies in charge of Vietnam allowed the   
   formerly free people of South Vietnam to have some   
   of their freedom back so they could once again become   
   productive.
