Cynthia Nixon may be slightly more articulate than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but that’s not saying much. Because when it comes to basic economics, she’s just as clueless.
Not only is Nixon convinced that “taxing the ultra-rich” will pay for her single-payer health care plan, but there’s also this:
NYC has become one city for the wealthy and another for the working class.
Now, skyrocketing rents are pushing families out of communities they’ve lived in for decades.
It's time to enact #UniversalRentControl and keep people in their homes.https://t.co/urfd0X13ZQ

Don’t be surprised if that’s how she came up with it.
Terrible idea

It's important to remember that @CynthiaNixon doesn't understand economics. She only understands what makes her feel good.#UniversalRentControl https://t.co/XtFIF91I5a
