Seattle city councilmember Kshama Sawant had a personal message for billionaire Jeff Bezos after the passage of the so-called Amazon tax, warning him that we are coming for you.
The avowed socialist framed Mondays 7-2 council vote for the hefty payroll tax on larger businesses as a step toward the goal of overthrowing the bankrupt system of capitalism and replacing it with a socialist world.
And if you, Jeff Bezos, want to drive that process forward by lashing out against us in our modest demands, then so be it, she said in a video address that was posted Tuesday on Socialist Alternative. Because we are coming for you and your rotten system.
Two years ago, the council passed and then promptly repealed a head tax on businesses with more than $20 million in annual gross revenue in the face of opposition from a coalition of businesses, including Amazon, that sought to overturn the tax with a ballot referendum.
In her message, Ms. Sawant warned Mr. Bezos, the Amazon CEO and one of the worlds richest people, that he would face the wrath of thousands if he tried that again.
I have a message for Jeff Bezos and his class, Ms. Sawant said. If you attempt again to overturn the Amazon tax, working people will go all out in the thousands to defeat you. And we will not stop there. Because you see, we are fighting for far more than this tax, we are preparing the ground for a different kind of society.

I have one question: does that excess payroll tax include government employees and officials, including elected officials?
Bezos can hire Hillary Inc to pay her a visit.
A self-serving poser. She became naturalized in 2000, elected to the City Council in 2013. Claimed she would live on a “working mans wage of $40,000 and donate the rest.
In the seven years on the board, living on a “working mans wage”, she has acquired a house valued between $800K-$900K, with an equity of $500K. Donations? She gives to some Socialist organization her husband belongs to.
We’ve all had it up to HERE with liberals fleeing their Hellholes and coming to your state and start electing the same imbeciles. How about these people who come here from another country and then try to tear ours down?
A mosquito is viciously attacking an elephant—wonder how that one will end... ;-)
Bezos could have an international auction for a team of hit men.....
He would never get caught—and she would be very very dead.
Don’t be shocked if you hear that she committed suicide by shooting herself in the head—multiple times...
She needs to be booted back to whatever turd world sh*thole she originated from.
There are many beautiful suburbs in commuting distance to Detroit—Amazon could afford to build a beautiful and secure corporate HQ in the city with free transportation to and from the burbs...
In Today’s world the staff can work from anywhere remotely.
Its only the warehouse workers who need to be local. Probably plenty of them anywhere.
This stupid councilwoman doesn’t understand that.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Seattle unemployment rates will be after Amazon moves out. They can have fun paying unemployment to thousands out of work and see where the tax base disappear.
For sub-human, bottom feeding scumbags like this woman, there is no such thing as a "modest demand"
Any "modest demand" simply results in more "modest demands" until there is nothing left to be given that they can issue a "modest demand" for.
Then, your country is named Venezuela.
Or, New York.
Seems like the DNC has conceded the White House, theyre going to take over the country anyway.
Exactly.
Not a fan of Bezos, particularly when he virtue signals, but he can stay in the Seattle area, but outside the city limits, and Sawant cant touch him or his money.
Detroit is beginning to appear more business friendly and stable than Seattle...
Is that good news for Detroit or bad news for Seattle?
😉
Bezos is a socialist (see WaPo moithpiece), so this is especially delicious.
Both.
The real issue is always their wet dream of a socialist revolution.
This socialist b*tch in Seattle is a most vile, radical revolutionary who thinks her socialist sh*t don't stink.
Haley is not for the violent overthrow of our government and free enterprise capitalist system.
She started this frenzy of history erasing in SC.
