Speaker 1: Last week, the Seattle City Council approved a payroll tax
Speaker 1: on Amazon, city's largest employer, the company that's responsible for
Speaker 1: creating more jobs than any other business in that town.
Speaker 1: After passing the tax, councilwoman Kashama so Want dared Amazon
Speaker 1: CEO Jeff Bezos to try to stop the Amazon taxt.
Speaker 1: She warned him that if he objects, he'll lose, and
Speaker 1: that was just for starters. Listen carefully to what the
Speaker 1: selected official said to her city's largest job creator. We
Speaker 1: are coming for you in your rotten system, she said
Speaker 1: to Bezos. We're coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent,
Speaker 1: utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state. We cannot
Speaker 1: and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace
Speaker 1: it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy,
Speaker 1: and equality, a socialist world. Mr Bezos, if you expected
Speaker 1: gratitude for building a business that employees, hun that thousands
Speaker 1: of people in business, that turned Seattle into a techno magnet,
Speaker 1: forget it. These leftists, these elected officials, your elected they
Speaker 1: hate you, they hate your business, they hate your success.
Speaker 1: And make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen, leftist will not
Speaker 1: stop until they turn America into what Seattle is becoming
Speaker 1: a dangerous, lawless socialist heellhole. Why Amazon stays there mid
Speaker 1: all this hate? I really don't know.
