Not to count our chickens before they hatch, but Seattle is poised to actually follow through on a progressive revenue option. Or three. As long as the council doesn't pull some of that 2018 head tax nonsense.
There are multiple tax options that the Seattle City Council is considering: Councilmembers Kshama Sawant's and Tammy Morales' Tax Amazon package or Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda's JumpStart Seattle plan. And, it looks like Councilmember Andrew Lewis just introduced a capital gains tax proposal:
Councilmember Andrew J. Lewis @CMAndrewJLewis 1/ We live in a time of enormous inequity and our regressive tax system isn't helping. That's why I am introducing a new 1% tax on capital gains. Let me tell you a bit about it..
There's an economic disaster looming for Seattle - and Washington state as a whole - with city budget holes estimated in the $300 million range, state budget shortfalls nearing $9 billion, millions still unemployed, and COVID-19 still at large. There has to be a solution and the Seattle City Council will be damned if they don't figure it out. Cue: all these progressive revenue proposals.

Meanwhile two people shot. One dead. In Chaz. Starting to become unglued
Looks like two separate shootings
so they begin at 1% of everything for communists
to get their nose under the tent.
should work.
they don’t have to pay police anymore.
or firemen
just lots of social workers they are importing
from Syria, Libya, and Turkey.
And expect them to be moving shortly to more friendly environs.
do you have a link?
Any details on this, or a link?
I would like to learn more.
Someone has been arrested for rape inside Chaz
No.. on cell phone
Its all over twitter.
Andy ngo reporting it
Where is he going to move? Every city is on track to be just like Seattle. At some point these communists will just take over Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
Dead person is black
. Claim is white person shot him
Other shot person drove to hospital
Happened about a block from each other moments apart
Ngo said about an hour ago, shooting occurred at entrance to the thug-zone. Cops supposedly there but nothing being reported by them yet. 10th and Pine Street area.
I believe the communists have already taken over those corporations.
Seattle police confirm investigation and address
Ngo says (6 hours ago) that some chaz resident was arrested for attempted rape. I should note though....he was only arrested after he left the chaz zone. Cops apparently didn’t desire to risk anything entering the zone.
Without taxes,these communist bastards are impotent. Does this give everyone an idea on how to defeat this scourge? First refuse to pay taxes and then hit them right between the eyes.
If you see the dead guys name post it. I saw it but now cant find it. Wanted to search it
Oh really? Last nite, one would assume...
Rape? How can it be rape?
“Com’n baby - the Mayor proclaimed it the Summer of Love - so give me some lovin’!”
And in spite of the Mayor’s proclamation - how can ANY crime be committed in an area devoid of police, and therefore of the rules that they help to enforce?
Arrested for rape of a deaf woman.
Arrested at 9:45 am. Out on $75,000 bail at 3:45pm the same day. “hear no evil” I guess.
