OLYMPIA, Wash. – A Washington state lawmaker on Tuesday set the tone for the upcoming legislative session, making the case for a new tax on companies statewide.
Rep. Shaun Scott plans to sponsor a bill to impose a payroll tax on companies with high earners.
The backstory: The idea is similar to what Seattle has already imposed.
Scott’s statewide measure would set a 5% tax on salaries that exceed $125,000. Scott says it could generate billions every year that would be spent on affordable housing, education and health care.
Rep. Scott is serving his first time after being the first Democratic Socialist to be elected to the legislature. more h/t illustr8r
Hey! Let’s improve the economy for charging businesses to hire people. What could possibly go wrong?
democRATz Suck and THIS asshole is is the Grand Wazoo of Parasites!
Shaun Scott: a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America who wants to Suck the life out of Capitalism by Sucking the money out of successful businesses and convince the younger, ignorant generation that “YES!” (they always prey on the young ones) it is possible to still keep on living in Mama’s basement by robbing the wealth of accomplished people who actually contribute something to society!
Conservatives believe in wealth creation, leftists believe in wealth redistribution; neither position can be reconciled.
When you have more dumb fvckers receiving money than being payers being extorted from their payroll tax, you end up with more assholes taking money than giving.
I’d be willing to bet money that it won’t bring in what they think it will.
Rich Taylor – “wealth redistribution” is just the term they hide behind to justify stealing someone else’s money! They steal it like crazy and give the crumbs (as Bela Pelosi would say) to some just to keep the scam alive!
These benighted economic REEEtards simply don’t have the brain power to conceive of a game that isn’t zero-sum and one they can’t rig. They need to be put
out of our miseryin an environment where they have the simple choice of (a) working their asses off, or (b) starving or freezing to death.That’s why they want to drag us down to their personal level of Suck cuz they’re incapable of competing on a level playing field!
They get this payroll tax passed Statewide and along with their huge Minimum Wage watch businesses flee that State.
At a grocery store on Hood Canal, Wa., the liquor is locked up because the state imposed an additional tax to increase revenue. Just the opposite happened. Liquor sales dropped off and ‘shrinkage’ increased. Since the Washington legislature is controlled by democrats no one will admit revenue is down because taxes went up.
Sorry you thieving democrat fuckfaced scumbags, but you assholes have stolen enough of my money in return for jack fucking shit.
There are still some numb-minded individuals that fail to understand liberal, commie democrats can NEVER get enough money to piss away on their asshole, stupid inexcusable fantasies.
Are there still businesses left in Washington state to steal from..I mean, tax?
