An assembly including the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which is aligned with US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, currently has its aim on great liberal Upper East Side state Sen. Liz Krueger.
Krueger, who chairs the state Senate Finance Committee, serves Manhattan district with more millionaires and billionaires than anywhere in New York — and has come to the position of promoting to tax them more, according to a report made by the DSA chapter, New York Communities for Change and other lefty groups.
“With responsibility comes accountability,” NYCC head Jonathan Westin told the Post on Sunday. “Sen. Krueger has been back-tracking on her commitments.”
DSA-NYC co-Chair Chi Anuwa added, “Sen. Krueger holds a lot of power. She’s in a unique position.

The leftist confederacy recognizes that Krueger has been a tight liberal during her long political career but charges that she has recently been MIA on its pressure for more taxes on the wealthy to help the poor.
The offers the activists back suggest are additional tax increases on those earning above $1 million a year; making billionaires pay income tax on their investment gains; a pied-a-terre tax on non-primary residences worth more than $5 million, and stock transfer and buyback taxes.

“As the threat of 20 percent cuts loom across localities, the chairwoman has yet to support a package of measures that would raise much-needed revenue for the state by taxing the ultra-rich,” the activists said in their report on Krueger provided to The Post.
