RUSH: Like most other Democrat-run cities, Seattle has housing problems. Prices are out of reach, for both renters and buyers, and there is a big homeless problem. They\u2019re everywhere.<\/p>\n

So, Seattle\u2019s City Council has come up with an idea. They are proposing a new tax. The tax would \u201conly\u201d affect the largest businesses in the city. Supposedly.<\/p>\n

On top of what they\u2019re already paying, these companies would be taxed another $500 per employee. The revenue would be used to \u201cfix\u201d the housing crisis. Supposedly. Except it won\u2019t, because they can\u2019t. Seattle\u2019s existence demonstrates they can\u2019t and don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

This plan was moving full-steam ahead until Amazon announced it is immediately stopping construction on the new facility they\u2019re building downtown, which puts 7,000 new jobs at risk.<\/p>\n

\"\"Amazon\u2019s decision caused panic to erupt in Seattle\u2019s liberal corridors of power. The mayor is alarmed. She says that she\u2019s talking to business and labor leaders, anybody she has to, in order to find \u201ccommon ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

But remember. Seattle just saw a bunch of jobs disappear when they imposed a so-called \u201cliving wage\u201d on businesses. It closed a bunch of restaurants, yet here they are again.<\/p>\n

Liberals never learn. There is no \u201ccommon ground\u201d to be found with these people. Jeff Bezos, hold your ground, buddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
