Funny you should say that.

After about 40 years of fighting ALL this bullshit, I decided to do exactly that. Closed on a house last week (guess what state it is not in). And yes, I am going to milk every dime out of my overpriced house and pay off the one I just bought (if the market holds for another few months). I have decided that I have done my bit, and now I just want a little peace and quiet for the rest of my years instead of having to look over my shoulder every f**king day for the next round of bat crap crazy shit coming down the pike. I feel no guilt what so ever, I have done my part, but you just can't fix stupid and this area seems to have an epidemic on it's hands.

I figure at least my vote can help stave off crazy someplace where the numbers are not completely insurmountable.

The problem with running away is that libs are locusts. They destroyed CA with their voting habits and even though they fled here they're doing it again. They don't learn, ever.

If you think ID, AK, MT or even WY will be safe you are just buying a little time before the locusts come to destroy those too. Eventually we have to take an electoral stand and stop the plague with massive grassroots voter outreach and organization.

skey: soapbox

Alpine: ballot box

next up:

Yeah, voting since the late 70s and injecting time and money as well. When you catch up, drop me a line.

Dangit! You beat me to it.

I was going to say that it looks like they are trying to make Seattle into West Detroit.







As has been said before: Last one out, turn off the lights.

Upside:

Congested Traffic issues would be solved.

An income tax..... How the fuck is that NOT an income tax?


That's 2$/day. PER employee.. and how many people work in Seattle? According to Seattle... 558,023

(.26042 * 8) *558,023 =$1,162,562.79(728) a DAY..

WTF is Seattle gonna do with a million dollars A DAY?!

The end of the Republic will be when people realize they can vote themselves access to the treasury...

Um, Blow it. Duuuh.

It's not an income tax because it's not based on INCOME. It's based on hours worked.

It still astounds me how libtards shout for equality while a regressive tax structure is not just the norm, but the policy championed by the left. Maybe it's because I came from somewhere else that I see a different way.

Well I'm sure by the council's logic, they just raised the minimum wage, so those workers can now afford to pay that tax. Cha ching.

They'll do what they always do, piss it all down a hole and tax the residents even more just to piss it all down the hole again.

The amount of tax revenue to Seattle right now is insane.

All of that hi-rise construction? Every bit of material, concrete, steel, piping, fixtures, everything is sales taxed.

And the property taxes of the homes and condos in Seattle? They keep so much money, yet never pave a residential street. How many residences are taxed per city block? A hell of a lot more than in any other city like Bellevue. In Bellevue, maybe 6 or 8 houses per acre, in Seattle dozens or even hundreds of condos in an acre.

It isn't even comparable, Seattle is a giant vacuum of tax money.

The greed is astounding, and increasing.

Don't forget all the B&O tax for the businesses doing the construction. Oh, and the licenses. Don't forget the licenses.
