WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jan 01, 2021

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>A few weeks ago, I told you about the huge

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>attacks that Seattle City Council plan for its businesses. Amazon,

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the city's largest employer, would be hardest hit. Now Amazon

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>adw in additional five dollars per employee on top of

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the taxes they pay already. The new tax would supposedly

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>solve Seattle's housing crisis, but it wouldn't now as an

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>other liberal run cities, homeless camps they're everywhere, and thanks

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to Seattle's massive overregulation, available housing cannot keep up with demand.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Rents are astronomical now. Whenever liberals create problems, do they

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>fix their policies. No, they punish the productive. And this

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>new tax targeted successful businesses, which Seattle liberals assume are

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>just rolling an extra dough and will roll over and

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>pay any new tax. But Amazon didn't follow the script

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and bend over and grab the ankles. Instead, they immediately

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>halted their Seattle expansion plans for Once officials back down

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a little. Instead of five hundred dollars per employee, the

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>city council voted to only tax big companies two d

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>seventy five dollars per employee. But here's a warning for

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Jeff bezos. The liberals who run your town are going

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to be back for the rest of it. Taxes are

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>all they know. Your success made you a target, and

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna stay a target, guaranteed. No matter how big

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a liberal you are, no matter how proud they are

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of you owning the Washington Post, They're going to get you.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:27.160
