Bill de Blasio told voters he’s ready to “restructure society” with wealth redistribution through taxes.

At the Democratic Presidential Debate Wednesday, de Blasio told the audience the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won’t restructure society the way he would.

“Joe Biden told wealthy donors that nothing fundamentally would change if we were president. Kamala Harris said she's not trying to restructure society. Well, I am,” de Blasio said.

“For 40 years, working people have taken on the chin in this country for 40 years the rich have gotten richer and they paid less and less in taxes. It cannot go on this way. When I'm president, we will even up the score and we will tax the hell out of the wealthy to make this a fairer country and to make sure it’s a country that puts working people first.”
