WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Dec 31, 2020 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.800 Like most other Democrat runs cities, Seattle has housing problems. 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Prices are out of reach for both renters and buyers, 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.360 and there is a big homeless problem there everywhere. So 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:12.760 Seattle city councils come up with an idea. They are 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.680 proposing a new tax. The tax would only affect the 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.040 largest businesses in the city, Supposedly on top of what 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.599 they're already paying, these companies would be taxed another five 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.520 hundred dollars per employee. Revenue would be used to fix 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.400 the housing crisis. Supposedly, except it won't because they can't. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.960 Seattle's existence demonstrates they can't and don't know what they're 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.840 doing now. The plan was moving full steam ahead until 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.159 Amazon announced it is immediately stopping construction on the new 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.400 facility they're building downtown, which puts seven thousand new jobs 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:52.000 at risk. Amazon's decision caused panic to erupt in Seattle's 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.560 liberal corridors of power. The mayor is alarmed. She says 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.680 that she's talking to business and labor leaders, anybody she 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.440 has to in order to find common ground. But remember, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.480 Seattle just saw a bunch of jobs disappear when they 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.639 imposed the so called living wage on businesses. It closed 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.839 a bunch of restaurants, and here they are again. You see, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.679 liberals never learned there is no common ground to be 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.720 found with these people. Jeff Bezos, hold your ground, buddy,
