When you elect idiots, what do you get? You get a vacuum created by the people - and money - running away...

Idiot leftist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said concerns about wealthy residents and businesses leaving Washington over rising taxes are “overblown” during an interview on Wednesday. “So today, do you still feel the narrative of the rich leaving is still overblown,” FOX 13 Seattle co-anchor Hana Kim asked Wilson. 

“So, I still think that claims of a large exodus of rich people due to our statewide millionaire tax that the legislature passed this year are overblown,” Wilson responded with a chuckle. “I do believe that.”  In March, Washington state Democrats passed the millionaire’s tax, a 9.9% income tax for households that make over $1 million a year, which Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson signed on March 30. It’s the state’s first-ever income tax, pushed by progressives and opposed by conservatives.

 

A recent survey by the Association of Washington Business reported on by The Center Square found that 44% of business leaders said they are considering moving their personal residence out of state, with businesses also saying they are now more than twice as likely to expand outside of Washington than within it.

This blog is supported by the meager commissions I get when you buy stuff 
on Amazon going through a link you see here. It doesn't matter if you buy what
 is promoted, or something else - it's all still credited to the blog. I am ever so
 greatful when you guys do it, because that little I do make from Amazon is still
 a big help now that I'm no longer working.
Long and short of it? If you're ever going to Amazon, do me a solid - come to
 the blog first and use one of my links. Your help is greatly appreciated. Seriously...
