brb fire all my employees brb leave state

Hahahahaha *breathe* hahahaha!
Seattle is done

now watch
>wealthy flee to the suburb
>property values plummet
>tax revenue shrinks
>city services get shitty
>businesses shut down
>crime increases
>need to fund more LE and free gibs
>city goes bankrupt
GEE WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG

Do you have any idea what this will do? That shithole of a city is even more fucked than before. What happens when you make rich people not want to live in a certain area. They leave, and so does all the money.

>tax the rich
>they become not rich
>who tax now

Hopefully the city council will fucking learn their lesson or just get killed off by the increasing crime wave.

wow that's racist user

unfortunately the kind of damage this causes takes decades to recover from

I'll take "what is 'white flight' " for $200.00 Alex

The wealthy will simply leave.
Joke's on Seattle

Seattle made a progressive and brave decision. The wealthy should be taxed heavily because it's not fair to others who have less. The wealthy won't flee the city, and soon Seattle will be a more enriched city.

>ITT

where in the fuck in that most did I mention niggers?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_General_Strike

This lign of reasoning is as fucking stupid as this.
youtube.com/watch?v=ztSmt7XBktI
What then ? What happens when the rich leave ?

The rich pay my fucking salary you basement dwelling antifa bum

kitsap county here

as a sane resident of Washington I'd like to apologize for the residents of:King,Snohomish and Pierce counties

though they have the most population this nigger district only makes up about 1/10 the area of the state

seattle doing everything they can to become detroit.

They did this in France. All the rich people left.

isn't this exactly what happened to detroit?

Not believing in redistribution of wealth is racist.

Bye bye Seattle.

Hippies should hang themselves.

" Tax unearned wealth"

And there it is ladies and gents, envy and force because muh greater good.

also, will this redpill the tech companies?

>In 2015, Washington households with incomes below $21,000 paid 16.8 percent of their income in state and local taxes, on average, while households with income above $500,000 paid only 2.4 percent, according to the organization.

>21000*0.168, people earning less than $21k/year paying AT THE MOST $3.5k/year in taxes
>500000*.024, people earning more than $500k/year paying AT MINIMUM $12k/year in taxes

>"The rich aren't paying enough taxes"

Why do liberals fail so hard at percentages. Did they fail 3rd grade math?

the tears as all the cock sucking rich liberals slowly start to leave leaving the peasant liberal shits to rot away.

>See Detroit and Chicago. Hell any major city controlled by liberals. What people fail to understand is truly rich people don't pay taxes like you and I do. I'm not and prolly will never be rich but this whole pay your fair share is bullshit.

>tfw you will have to wait a year or two to see the ramifications this tax change will incur
I want my happening now.

>the woman's reaction:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLKVZcurVc

What was approved? Maybe a fucking archive link would help.

they do know percentages. they see percentage and therefor think rich pay nothing.
>2.4% is less than 16.8%
duh

>Seattle will make "White Flight" illegal

For anyone who isn't from the area, here is a map of Seattle. See that area to the East called Bellevue? That's where most of the rich people live. Bill Gate's home is on the east side of Lake Washington.

It's not a very long commute from Bellevue to Seattle. Maybe an extra 10-15 minutes driving. They can all move across the lake with very little inconvenience.

t. Seattlefag.

We deserve a nuke.

Just like they approved of raising the minimum wage?

archive.fo/wRsH5

>Hours worked by affected employees fell by around nine percent

>Affected employees' net earnings fell by $125 a month on average

>people earning less than $21k/year paying AT THE MOST $3.5k/year in taxes
Ask them how much they get back in IRS refunds at tax time? I know most married couples with a few kids get around 3 grand in deductions to be refunded. Getting the rich to pay more taxes isn't going to help them one bit.

What the fuck man I can't understand why people feel so entitled to rich people's money.

I'm currently self employed with a small business that's growing. I earn just over 100k. I've worked my ass off to get this far. Once my business expands and i start making more money, these lazy cunts expect me to hand over more money from the business I've put so much time into? Get fucked. Fuck the entitled poor.

Can someone please explain exactly why poor people are entitled to richer peoples money? I don't understand this way of thinking.

it's literally nothing, income tax has time and time again been found to be unconstitutional under the Washington State constitution which is the only thing preventing the cucks that run this state from making an income tax.

Our constitution says that you can't tax different people at different rates so if they want to do an income tax it has to be flat rate.

seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-council-to-vote-today-on-income-tax-on-the-wealthy/

All wealth is earned. I'd you choose to invest it in your progeny that's your decision. Might be a shit deal but why do you require more shit to be happy? Maybe these poor fucks are too materialistic. Maybe they need to stop watching ads if it makes them unhappy. Funny thing is these libtards shit in simple people for being content with their meager material wealth.

...

I'd rather the super rich be taxed than that stupid fucking rent tax/hike they were proposing. Yes, I live in Seattle.

How wealthy are we talking? I have nothing against a person owning a couple million but hundreds of millions needs to be taxed more.

...

Are you 5 fucking years old? Itsnotfairitsnotfairitsnotfairwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Die, you fucking pussy.

I FUCKING WARNED YOU!

that's racist
rich ppl should be forced to live in cities so that they can pay for welfare for the strong, cultured people of color

Bellevue is where Gaben is based, right?

>88
>Heil Hitler
Porra Caralho bro! If they stay in the city (wealthy folks), I will tip my hat at them.
But.....
If they start leaving... the people of Seattle will get a hearty Kek from me.
Well see.

>Not knowing what progressive taxes are

Slide thread filled with dumbasses

>but hundreds of millions needs to be taxed more.

In the US, you are not taxed on your assets, but on your income*. The “money in the bank” has already been taxed, when you earned it, and it is now free for the rest of your life, and in most cases, beyond.

Any interest, dividends, or capital gains you make on this money is new income, and this is taxed**.

* A notable exception is “property taxes” usually levied by state and local governments. These are recurring taxes based on property you own (typically real estate and vehicles)

** interest, dividends, and capital gains in Roth IRAs and Education Plans are never taxed.

Socialists/comies have this very distorted and absurd view ofthe economy. They essentially live in a world where the employer who pays them is evil. And where the government creates jobs or brings "justice" by redistributing wealth.
Then when their wishes are granted..They fail to understand why businesses close or move to a different area, why there's more unemployment.
And amazingly enough, once this eventually happens...They still blame entrepreneurs for leaving. Then they blame it on "capitalism" and "greed"... When it's the government that's destroying buisnesses.
We have the same shit in my country only on a much more advanced scale than America.
It's endemic.. French people worship the nanny state. And France is slowly but surely becoming a fucking shithole because of it.
Add to that their religious-like adoration for "equality" and "human rights"...Then you have today's situation... Small businesses destroyed..Big ones leaving...Nigger invasion.

Some of you may be too young to remember, but here is what happened when Bill Gates Sr. sponsored a ballot initiative to impose statewide income tax.

It failed by a massive margin. This result would have been IMPOSSIBLE unless a massive amount of progressive cucks from Seattle had also voted NO.

see pic related

Not sure, but most likely.

Rent tax? What the fuck! Why not incentivze purchasing property to have more individuals to tax? How the hell can you justify taxing someone on shit they don't own?

This is why communism always fails

Thank you, Seattle, for the inevitable capital flight towards our direction.

t. Texas

Which is why investment is key and all the bitching about poverty is a failure to even begin prudent investment. Capital gains on short term positions are also taxed low or not at all for the poor.

Yep. I live in Western NY and its becoming less white by the day. Young white people leave because they cant afford to pay insane property and income taxes when you can get a bigger house an hour away in PA and be paying less than half. Theres also not alot of opportunity for business in this state. The nogs and spics never leave because they live on the gibs that they wont get as much of in other states.

wow, big money influences elections once again

I should point out that the initiative from that pic at least tried to recognize the cost of what they were doing by offsetting it by lowering taxes in other areas.

The Seattle city Council didn't even bother with that as far as i am aware, so they are going balls deep in fucking this city

annnddd...there go all the rich people. Do they think the wealthy will continue to live in a city that discriminates against them? When will the poor learn this only works if everyone is on board aka socialism

Leftists are too lazy to go out and rob people themselves. They want the state to do it for them.

It's called white flight and it harms underprivileged minorities.
textbook white privilege
tsk, tsk, tsk

Boy they are about to be in a heap of trouble.

Socialism and communism are two similar but separate ideologies. Please educate yourself for next time.

>educate yourself
Leftist detected. Go fuck yourself faggot

And all the people who believe that multi-cult and high taxes make for a better society are the first people to move away. They constantly shit on this area for being shit but not a trace of self awareness on why it is the way it is. Oh, and where do they move to? Florida, Texas, Colorado.

None of this even needs to be said. It's common sense. Why are liberals incapable of thinking with common sense?

They are practically the same fucking thing you idiot.

Really they just need to cut the bloat and entitlement programs. Taxes means they don't have to do their job, plus they find more ways to line their own pockets.

>The wealthy leave and go live somewhere with lower taxes since they can easily afford to move
BTFO

How does anyone think this will work?

Its like no one read the reports from ICIJ on the Panama papers. The wealthy don't keep any money stateside from profits off their investments. There is no way to tax wealthy income.

Its all fucking grandstanding

oh fuck whats going to happen to Valve!?

>Please educate yourself
Go back to Plebbit with that jackass retort.

I get bombarded by memes of how well california's economy is doing when in reality rent in the cities is sky rocketing, and you have to get paid 100k just to scrape by.

>Socialism and communism are two similar but separate ideologies.
Socialism is communism's fiscal trap on capitalism

Virtue Signaling

It's not about defending the rich, it's a simple fact. The rich people are the ones who have the ability to leave if they don't like it. It's poorfags that are stuck with the changes and the burden of making up the resulting gap in tax revenue when the rich bail out.

>Literally 98% state voting against their interests
I'll give it 5 years before they're down to 80%.

This is the chick who sponsored it. What a smug looking cunt.

>Seattle will become Detroit in your lifetime

I have informed the Judaic council for domination over the western goyim that there is a need for a flat tax rate to fund more diversity programs.

Leftist ideology is allergic to understanding unintended consequences.

This shit has been going on in Seattle for over 20 years. Every year I've been forced to walk through and watch as a city I once admired and loved is rotted out from the inside out. Every year it gets worse and worse, almost all of the family I had there has since moved out to other parts of the state. One day the rot will finally consume both the city and those who run it. I don't feel anything about any stories that come out of Seattle anymore. A shooting? Must be another Sunday. A whole gaggle of homeless people OD'ing on crack? Par for the course. Antifa threatening to crack the skulls of the capitalist swine? Must be the first of May. It's becoming a sick joke, I hope it implodes sooner than later, its difficult to watch it happen slowly.

>ywn live in a comfy apartment in Seattle like in Frasier due to retard liberals and their shitty policys

Sorry to trigger you while I crack an egg of knowledge on your heads, cuck bois

Socialism relies on an institution or community to own and manage the means of production and redistribute the wealth among the citizens.

Communism gives control to the means of production to the workers themselves. Each person does whatever shit job their good at and they get paid the same as everyone else.

Neither result in any incentive for an individual to go above the bare minimum.

these destroyed on live tv videos are usually over exaggerated.

but not this one, holy fucking shit what a monumental retard

Its not that you mentioned niggers. Its that liberals literally respond that way.

the reason why your salary's high in the first place was due to high tax so your boss can evade it.
otherwise have fun being paid 20k a year for the rest of your shitty life.

Definitely Colorado. Fortunately there are very few nogs there.

All anyone needs to know about unfair taxes is look at what Britain did when they imposed a 95% tax rate on rich people. And even today wealthy athletes and celebs live in places like Switzerland and Monaco. Fuck the taxman. Look at how irresponsible our government is. 20 trillion in debt, give billions in aid to muzzie countries that hate us. And those dirty kikes as well. Why are such a patsy?
