Seattle mayor on head tax debate: 'We can't tax our way' out of homelessness

[B.UTLER]

Yes, because just continue to go into the pockets of the working class to fix every problem especially from every leech that we have in society.

So youd rather buy an extra f14 costing billions that we dont really need considering our military is already bigger than all of other countries combined than use that billions to help the homeless and help them get back on their feet. Got ya

Local budget is limited.

All budgets are, actually.

And no, this isn't about limits anyway.

It's about massive new taxes. That despite the data showing that after the city spent more on fighting homelessness, they are seeing the numbers of homeless drastically rise.

Please keep up better.

I think we'll be fine with 1 less f-14 that cost billions and will feed thousands of homeless for years

No you won’t.

You will only grow the problem


It sounds good what you are saying, in an ideal world I would totally agree with you, but in reality all it does is grow the problem

San Fran and Seattle are prime examples

1. Huge social programs so the leeches flock and overwhelm system

2. To keep up with all the costs, they will start heavily taxing producers.

3. Producers all leave area

4. Place is stuck with a population of leeches and little producers

5. Place deteriorates into a shythole

This is exactly what Puerto Rico did, and now facing reality.
Soon it will be Seattle

Exactly.

Notice the article citing Amazon's reaction to the new tax proposal.

If Amazon won't stay and pay the tax, you know there will be alot of other businesses doing the same thing.

You can't tax job providers out, and somehow expect to see less homelessness. They need jobs to get homes, geniuses.

Liberal politicans are flat out stupid. The only ones more stupid are those who vote for them.

Indeed I would spend it on the military. It defends our way of life and right now it defends your freedom of speech.

You are not getting homeless back on their feet. That is a fairy tell. Either they are mentally incompetent or drug users that have burned every bridge and are in the streets.

All these programs we have in NY and it is not working because nobody is obligated to continue treatment or try to strive individually.

So basically you just want all to be given, rent, food, services and something that is so contra productive instead of the military that is very productive.

Lets continue to support the homeless, every illegal immigrants and welfare addicts while the working man continues to pay more and more in taxes.

We will welcome Amazon in VA. Vote yes to the head tax, Seattle, please...
