When obamacare hit everyone, a definitely remember a woman who supported it, during an interview. That is, until she realized that she had to pay for it. She, being the absolute moron that she is, thought it was all free and the world would be nothing but rainbows, unicorns and lollipops from that point on.
No different than those 700+ comments you read. It’s all great when someone else is paying for it, or at least that’s what they think. But, when it hit them in THEIR wallet, hold on a minute, Big Guy, that’s my money your playing with. And, they are probably just smart enough to realize that this will force companies to move or cut jobs.
Again, those same “far right comments” could be applied if Seattle, instead of imposing the tax, decided that shelters would be opened all over the city, in the trendiest, hipsterish, upper liberal middle class, rich liberal neighborhoods. Those people would be storming city hall with pitchforks and torches.
Everyday, they are the poster children for hypocrisy.
One of these areas is on the walk to the Ballard locks. This is a tourist area. It is a very trendy area. My daughter and her husband paid, for an old, small three bedroom on a postage stamp lot with no parking and iffy street parking, $3400 a month. They are looking at a five bedroom home in a beautiful neighborhood in Louisville with a sound proofed theater room and two car garage with LOTS of parking in the driveway and street, $2200. And no traffic hassles.
It’s downright comical as more and more people in Seattle realize just how much they are paying and what they are getting for it, they are wondering why they are there.
One of my other daughters lives about 30 blocks north of the U-district and they are stuck there because her husband started up an internet company that has become quite successful, but he can’t just move his employees out of the area. But I just found out he is working toward selling the business (Apparently it was his goal from the beginning) and then they are OUT OF SEATTLE.
Pretty soon all they will have in that city is street people and college students.
