Take a good look at what a handful of voters in one of America’s finer suburbs did to themselves and the rest of their community

Ever look at a Red (Republican)/ Blue (Democrat) voting map from last year. The Blue Democrats from the big cities gave us this horribly corrupting government.

Maybe Caliph Baraq could enforce the big min wage with an Exec Order?

Aren’t airports mostly funded with federal dollars?

Do it “for the chillern”

Up until 1984 or 1988, the MSM networks correctly represented Dem states as Red and GOP states as Blue. Then, it was changed so as not to identify the Dems with communism.

I think in addition to low information should be gullible.

So, unions are free to bargain and settle for less than minimum wage? So says the judge.

We’re in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Until Americans care enough to start reading the fine print again, conditions aren’t likely to get much better.

So they vote for representatives who do not read the bills they vote on...or the constitution.

I expected this to be a story about job flight from the jurisdiction that passed the ridiculous law, but the consequences were even better than I imagined.

The most fun thing to watch will be the collapse of Seatac’s economy. Eventually followed by the city being turned into one large open park.

To cover the legally binding $ 15.00 an hour minimum wage those affected businesses inside Seatac’s city limits will have to raise their prices and/or reduce their work force.

Shortly, you will see businesses open for business on one side of the city’s boundaries and closed on the other.

Then, you will see the costs of living inside Seatac go up as the city government has to expand city licensing fees and raise property taxes.

Finally, you will see people moving out to places where they can afford to live.

Then, to cut the cost of governing, the city will declare most homes abandoned and then bulldoze them down to the bear earth.

Think this will not happen? Can you say Detroit?

Like it or not, the economic reality of this vote has the high probability of turning Seatac into a mini-Detroit. The only question is will the proponents of this bill leave before or after that happens.

No different than having the 2nd. and 3rd. stringers on a football team able to vote themselves as starters. The team will most likely go on a prolonged losing streak.

“Until Americans care enough to start reading the fine print again, conditions aren’t likely to get much better.”

Yeah. Good luck with that. Due to 50+ years of ‘Why Johnny Can’t Read’ thanks to the Dems OWNING the Publik Skrool System, we are doomed.

SeaTac is already a dump. An adjacent town, Tukwila, has the highest crime rate in the state and is a dumping ground for unassimilable immigrants on welfare.

The picture has some delicious irony. The big green hand of “gimmedat” is outstretched to collect the goodies.

That map is encouraging and disheartening at the same time. So many are being held captive by a vocal few. If only a strong conservative voice could break the media barrier.
