Special Ed Wants To Raise Taxes AGAIN
Comments
-
@Southerndawg is dialed in ...
No problem with wanting to fix and improve the homeless situation ... and if that took short-term tax dollars to do so then whatever ...
But we all know that nothing will be done and instead what will happen is enablement and the moving in of even more homeless looking to "cash in" on the free lunch. -
This is exactly what Everett used to say. Then Chicago HQ. Then blackmail of state gov't for tax concessions. Then Charleston.CirrhosisDawg said:
Seattle is one the most fiscally strong cities in the country. It's bond rating is AAA. It is not defaulting on any obligation now or in the future. It's citizens, some of the most highly educated and successful people in the world, are free to spend tax dollars however they choose.

Depends on what they're doing. IMO, that's way too much for a parasitic city government tool, especially since I'm sure that most of that salary will follow him/her/whatever the proper pronoun of the day is, in the form of a pension until death. But if the people of Seattle are okay with it, more power to them, they're free to burn as much money as they want. If enough rational people decide to LEAVE then maybe the city will have to curb its spending, or not, city government defaults aren't a new thing.2001400ex said:
You think someone is overpaid at $137k a year?

He also has a "Homeless Czar" making $137,000 in salary alone.
How does he not realize that all of this money for the homeless encourages more homeless to move here? If you build it, they will come:

Nope. Not gonna happen. Homelessness industry is too big, employing too many people who will eventually move into a City job and onto the City's payroll, to be replaced by new college grads at their old advocacy organization employers. The die is cast and the script was written in the 70's. The bigger Seattle gets, the faster the cycle accelerates.YellowSnow said:If you raise my taxes Special Ed can you, at least, run the bums in tents and RV's out of town? This is getting to be re-god-damned-diculous and I'm saying this as someone who is somewhat liberal minded in terms of the welfare state.

Forget the "ifs." We built it and they're here.YellowSnow said:
I meant it more in a qui pro quo type of deal- i.e., I am ok with a tax hike if I don't have to look at bums defiling out beautiful city. But your observation "If you build it, they will come" is accurate.Southerndawg said:
He's not proposing raising taxes to run bums out, now is he? @HFNY stated the obvious, this will encourage more to move in, and I'm fine with that.YellowSnow said:If you raise my taxes Special Ed can you, at least, run the bums in tents and RV's out of town?

We already enabled like crazy. Now we fertilize with Miracle Grow.
Time to revise to with: The more you spend, the more you get. -
Wait for what? Seattle default?TurdBuffer said:

Twitter-like tax concessions, on steroids. And the City will have no choice but to give Amazon whatever it wants.CirrhosisDawg said:

Because seatttle likes to bail out rich white people when it has no need to? And everrett and charleston sc are comparable. And none of them have ever defaulted on anything? Great argument. Go supersonics!TurdBuffer said:
