Sawant is open to a head tax ballot initiative but she doesn’t think “it should be punted to the voters.”

'Punted to the voters'??? Oh I just love that one.

Seattle socialist. Those two words are all anyone needs to know about this person. It just goes downhill from that low point.

The Libturd sleight-of-hand...tax big business...

They know the truth, but they push the lie. And, in many instances, a gullible electorate buys that lie, sadly.

Simple fact is that big business (and small) DO NOT PAY TAXES. They build their tax burden into pricing and THE BUYER pays the taxes, ALWAYS.

And, THAT is why the Fair Tax makes the most sense as a mechanism to fund government. With this caveat: Tax Reform without Spending Reform is a Fool’s Game, ALWAYS.

We have space for amazon here in Kentucky. Much lower taxes as well.

It is good that Bezos is being hit up like this.

It may have him rethink some policies...

The article assumes everyone knows what the hell the “head tax” is. I don’t.

This from Wiki: “Mayor Greg Nickels proposed an employee hours tax, dubbed a “head tax” by the local media, of $25 per employee in 2006”

A stupid, unconstitutional idea. Par for the course from ultra liberal Seattle.

Amazon may just wind up making an example out of Seattle.

There is not much holding Amazon HQ in Seattle. No hard-to-move factories. It may be time to announce a new facility in Tacoma Washington, just a few miles south, along with Bezos buying a home in Florida or Texas.

Kshama Sawant = immigrant from a hellhole who comes to America and wants to turn us into a hell hole so she can get stuff without producing.
