“Over 25 percent of the increased earnings are collected back as income and payroll taxes. . . . Even after taxes, 27.6 percent of increased earnings go to families in the top 40 percent of the income distribution.”

One thing to understand about the lilly white gentry class is that they hate tainted money. Tainted money is the kind they have to work for themselves. They like money to just appear for them, having been skimmed off the population and routed through government to a program they benefit from. Think of Hillary's university speaking tours. She doesn't rip off the students directly, she just goes and speaks for an hour, collects a six figure speaking fee from the university, which skimmed from the students who go further in debt. And its all untainted money for Hillary.

I guess the wealthier areas of Seattle need more bicycle paths or something. That will raise the property values for the lilly whites.
