Speaker 1: Like most other Democrat runs cities, Seattle has housing problems.
Speaker 1: Prices are out of reach for both renters and buyers,
Speaker 1: and there is a big homeless problem there everywhere. So
Speaker 1: Seattle city councils come up with an idea. They are
Speaker 1: proposing a new tax. The tax would only affect the
Speaker 1: largest businesses in the city, Supposedly on top of what
Speaker 1: they're already paying, these companies would be taxed another five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars per employee. Revenue would be used to fix
Speaker 1: the housing crisis. Supposedly, except it won't because they can't.
Speaker 1: Seattle's existence demonstrates they can't and don't know what they're
Speaker 1: doing now. The plan was moving full steam ahead until
Speaker 1: Amazon announced it is immediately stopping construction on the new
Speaker 1: facility they're building downtown, which puts seven thousand new jobs
Speaker 1: at risk. Amazon's decision caused panic to erupt in Seattle's
Speaker 1: liberal corridors of power. The mayor is alarmed. She says
Speaker 1: that she's talking to business and labor leaders, anybody she
Speaker 1: has to in order to find common ground. But remember,
Speaker 1: Seattle just saw a bunch of jobs disappear when they
Speaker 1: imposed the so called living wage on businesses. It closed
Speaker 1: a bunch of restaurants, and here they are again. You see,
Speaker 1: liberals never learned there is no common ground to be
Speaker 1: found with these people. Jeff Bezos, hold your ground, buddy,
