Philadelphia has a city wage tax, they confiscate a portion of your paycheck regardless of where you live. Big employers don’t care so Philly gets away with it.
“Just let Seattle keep it up. It will succeed in killing itself”
I live in Seattle, and unfortunately, the place is still growing like crazy. The growth is not expected to slow any time soon.
CHARTER BUSES !
ML/NJ
Like Illinois and California.
Elect commies, get communism.
“The regulatory cost of new construction in Seattle represents 40% of the total cost.”
And yet there will be plenty of SJW CEO’s that will continue to move forward in Seattle. Shareholders have no clue that collectively they can put a stop to the nonsense.
Amazon should stay and pay. They promote and vote for the vermin that make up these taxes. Bet thise big companies wouldn’t care if all the taxpayers were paying it. Oh wait, they will be because Amazon will shove those costs onto their customers who will not be happy.
Leftists are scum and I have no pity for those who vote in this garbage.
Flash from the past: “Will the last person leaving Seattle turn off the lights”
“Amazon should stay and pay”
Exactly. This is the kind BS Amazon wants to inflict on the country.
Who is going to look out for the Taxpayers in this?
If my income tax or property tax go crazy, I can vote for someone who will reduce the tax.
This is money going to government with no accountability.
It is the worst form of fascism yet.
Big business gives government money.
Where does big business get the money from?
A lot of it is coming from people who don’t even live in Washington.
Those Democrat politicians are getting money that no one can complain about.
Then don’t vote for insane socialists.
Regardless of this tax, the truth is amazon has ruined Seattle. There was no reason to cram so much of your infrastructure into downtown, particularly south lake union. Amazon has made the downtown a traffic nightmare and basically unliveable.
Just give them all the rope they desire and eventually they will all be swinging in the wind. Douches all!
Socialist Seattle driving business away as fast as it can
While the illegal immigrant population is up in Washington state I don’t think they can blame this socialist bullshit on them. This is all on the legal residents and maybe they will finally wake up to what they have done to themselves.........maybe.
Screw you, Seattleites! You’re the ones who elected these idiots.
Grow up an think about what you’re enabling next time you vote!
Suck it up buttercups. You voted for your communist nut politicians. You got what you deserved. Now eat crap and die!
I know - lets put a new/(upgraded?) hockey/basketball arena next to Amazon!
Kind of like Frisco, with Portland running a close third.
