To qualify for the proposed tax, businesses must generate at least $1.17 million in gross receipts annually.

A small plumbing firm does that much business. This is insane horsepuckey. SFO deserves to starve in the dark.

On Tuesday, the people of San Francisco will decide whether the city should tax companies for paying their CEOs too much money.


Didn’t Clinton do that? And it resulted in the explosion of CEO earnings, and a huge increase in short-term thinking?

How about stringing them up by their balls anytime they lie to Congress about lack of talent in America.

They depress wages and pocket the difference. Ill gotten gains.

Just the thing they need to keep those vital businesses in the city.

bu-bye businesses impacted by this. 100% guaranteed.

Brilliant way to lose these businesses and brilliant way to drive these ostensibly smart people out of the area.

This an outstanding idea. If this is enacted they’ll never afford cleaning the schiff off the streets.

Sort of explains how nearly half the country could cast its vote for a man who has lost his mind.

There is a silver lining to this proposal. As companies replace citizen employees with H1B employees at lower cost, the average salary drops. That means the company pays more for the excess-CEO-pay tax.

The foil of unintended consequences, yes?

Won’t businesses simply move out of San Francisco to avoid this? Many probably are looking to relocate anyway. Just another incentive to say bye bye.

The Income Tax, in its entirety at all levels of government needs to be removed. There’s a reason the Founding Fathers of this country declared it unconstitutional.

Clo's will abandon San Francisco so fast their heads will spin. The will. o longer have address there. I suspect that the CEOs that stay probably move “officially” yet still own/lease, though a series of shell companies, property in San Francisco that has highly private access and a proven, reliable discretion.
