Seattle repeals head tax

[blackhawk]

Originally passed on May 14, the measure required companies with annual revenue of $20 million or more to contribute $275 per employee annually toward efforts to combat widespread homelessness in Seattle. Not really a surprise given how pissed Amazon and Starbucks were over this.

That's good, seems there's some brain left in there yet.

The vote was 7-2 so at least seven people understood two of the cities biggest employers possibly relocating would not be a good thing.

Does that hurt your feelings, that is called wealth redistribution, see it really trickles up to the top, that is how they make money. If it trickled down , the poor would be getting richer, but they are not.

And you are in denial, and ignorant.

Head Tax?!

That's taking government interference TOO far.

 

[Sunni Man]

Liberals would never tell the homeless to get a job or give them one.

Because it might hurt their feelings.

Liberals would rather demand that you give the homeless your money.

That way they can feel good about helping the homeless, and it didn't cost them anything. ...

Nope

This is America…..

If you are poor it’s because you are

not that bright or you are lazy or maybe both..

Rich people are not holding poor people down….

Has a poor man ever given you a job?

You could divide all the money up evenly

between the rich and the poor and in no time

the rich would be rich again and the poor would

be poor again, it’s called nature.

No its who you were born too and depends on a lot of other things. To think that the poor are somehow ignorant is well ignorant. To think that the rich are honest and smart is also ignorant. The rich are rich due to mainly who you were born to and what your parents do or did, and if you are fortunate to work your way through college then you also might have a career you can be proud of, or perhaps a trade school.

The rich are rich because it trickles up, they are not more intelligent. Take TRump if you will, he filed bankruptcy several times, he paid himself first and left other in the dirt, his daughter is who she is because of her daddy. Got it.
