New York biz titans need to speak up and publicly defend the city from the socialist mob

With each passing day, Gotham — supposedly, the world capital of capitalism — seems to be marching ever closer to . . . socialism.

All while its corporate titans remain quiet as church mice.

If they want to save their businesses, the economy — heck, New York! — it’s long past time they speak out. Publicly.

For years, these leaders (with a few exceptions, like Bill Ackman) have taken a “go-along-to-get-along” approach.

Even the Partnership for New York City has long placed its friendship with the administration over the interests of its corporate members.

Perhaps business leaders fear retribution from City Hall or Albany. Maybe they’ve got deals with government officials they don’t want to disturb — or want to keep under the radar.
