Their “Tax the Rich” campaign targets millionaires, but Democratic Socialists of America lefties are now pushing for a slew of tax hikes that would slam middle-class New Yorkers. The party’s NYC chapter is asking potential candidates seeking its endorsement if they will back hiking income taxes for individuals making more than $300,000 — three times less than the $1 million threshold socialist Mayor Mamdani campaigned on. The DSA-NYC is also drumming up support from pols to tax New Yorkers with inheritances larger than $250,000, according to a copy of recent DSA candidate questionnaires obtained by The Post.
