For anyone who isn't from the area, here is a map of Seattle. See that area to the East called Bellevue? That's where most of the rich people live. Bill Gate's home is on the east side of Lake Washington.

It's not a very long commute from Bellevue to Seattle. Maybe an extra 10-15 minutes driving. They can all move across the lake with very little inconvenience.

What the fuck man I can't understand why people feel so entitled to rich people's money.

I'm currently self employed with a small business that's growing. I earn just over 100k. I've worked my ass off to get this far. Once my business expands and i start making more money, these lazy cunts expect me to hand over more money from the business I've put so much time into? Get fucked. Fuck the entitled poor.

Can someone please explain exactly why poor people are entitled to richer peoples money? I don't understand this way of thinking.
>>
it's literally nothing, income tax has time and time again been found to be unconstitutional under the Washington State constitution which is the only thing preventing the cucks that run this state from making an income tax.

Our constitution says that you can't tax different people at different rates so if they want to do an income tax it has to be flat rate.

In the US, you are not taxed on your assets, but on your income*. The “money in the bank” has already been taxed, when you earned it, and it is now free for the rest of your life, and in most cases, beyond.

Any interest, dividends, or capital gains you make on this money is new income, and this is taxed**.

* A notable exception is “property taxes” usually levied by state and local governments. These are recurring taxes based on property you own (typically real estate and vehicles)

** interest, dividends, and capital gains in Roth IRAs and Education Plans are never taxed.
>>
>>133186816
Socialists/comies have this very distorted and absurd view ofthe economy. They essentially live in a world where the employer who pays them is evil. And where the government creates jobs or brings "justice" by redistributing wealth.
Then when their wishes are granted..They fail to understand why businesses close or move to a different area, why there's more unemployment.
And amazingly enough, once this eventually happens...They still blame entrepreneurs for leaving. Then they blame it on "capitalism" and "greed"... When it's the government that's destroying buisnesses.
We have the same shit in my country only on a much more advanced scale than America.
It's endemic.. French people worship the nanny state. And France is slowly but surely becoming a fucking shithole because of it.
Add to that their religious-like adoration for "equality" and "human rights"...Then you have today's situation... Small businesses destroyed..Big ones leaving...Nigger invasion.
>>
Some of you may be too young to remember, but here is what happened when Bill Gates Sr. sponsored a ballot initiative to impose statewide income tax.

It failed by a massive margin. This result would have been IMPOSSIBLE unless a massive amount of progressive cucks from Seattle had also voted NO.

This shit has been going on in Seattle for over 20 years. Every year I've been forced to walk through and watch as a city I once admired and loved is rotted out from the inside out. Every year it gets worse and worse, almost all of the family I had there has since moved out to other parts of the state. One day the rot will finally consume both the city and those who run it. I don't feel anything about any stories that come out of Seattle anymore. A shooting? Must be another Sunday. A whole gaggle of homeless people OD'ing on crack? Par for the course. Antifa threatening to crack the skulls of the capitalist swine? Must be the first of May. It's becoming a sick joke, I hope it implodes sooner than later, its difficult to watch it happen slowly.

Socialism relies on an institution or community to own and manage the means of production and redistribute the wealth among the citizens.

Communism gives control to the means of production to the workers themselves. Each person does whatever shit job their good at and they get paid the same as everyone else.

Neither result in any incentive for an individual to go above the bare minimum.

As usual, OP isn't great at reading comprehension:

"Under a proposal being considered by the Seattle City Council, only the top earning residents would be subject to the income tax – those individuals with incomes in excess of $250,000 and those filing jointly with incomes in excess of $500,000 would pay a 2.25% tax."

Still an extra 2.25% may or may not cause those in that income bracket to relocate their primary residence elsewhere.

Fucking Seattle, the state supreme court already ruled that a non uniform income tax is unconstitutional in 1933 with Culliton v. Chase.
>>
Lawsuits from republicans expected next week as well:

" A A lawsuit will likely emerge in the next week or so, after the mayor signs the tax into law, said Jason Mercier, director of the Center for Government Reform at the business-backed Washington Policy Center, which opposes the tax.

There are three key legal barriers, according to Mercier: The state constitution says taxes must be uniform within a class of property; a 1984 state law bars cities from taxing net income; and cities must have state authority to enact taxes."

"Unfortunately"

You're missing the entertainment value. What we do after their city rots to the crime waves and economic death spiral is give them the only opportunity to keep paying their bills: tell council that they now earn their money for their cops/services/fire department by allowing us to install 24/7 cameras across the city and on-the-ground interviewers with the Cops to turn their dystopian existence into Reality TV for us to watch 24/7, while we try online to meme riots/looting/chimp outs to watch the effects.

This is probably why COPS TV exists in other U.S. cities: it's the only way they can pay for their services in an ever-increasing social decayed city. It's a way for those pushed out by the egalitarianism to take sweet profit revenge on those left behind in the coming anarchic collapse.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Amazon JUST moved its headquarters there, officially making Seattle insanely wealthy, but also immediately gentrifying all the people already living and WORKING there.

We're not talking about welfare queens. We're talking about blue collar workers' rent going from $800/mo to $1300/mo (as an example).

I don't have any ethical ground for taxing the wealthy at a higher rate (some smart communist on here probably does), but Amazon is a monopoly that's been slowly destroying our entire economy, and now it's gentrifying a city that was pretty nice BEFORE it moved in.

http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-is-taking-over-seattle-2017-4

>Tax Unearned Wealth
The implication of this is that the wealthier you are the less you earned your money. Lets define earn as hard work and risk. The implication then becomes that being rich is easy, and that being rich takes little risk.

Lets explore those claims. The surest indicator of wealth is graduating from a good school, or going further and getting a law/mba/medical/etc. degree from a good school. Better schools are harder, much harder than state schools and community colleges. They're harder to get into, you have to work more in highschool as well as college. You can say what you want about grade inflation at Harvard but those kids stay up dumb late working.

Are they claiming that high income jobs are easier than low? I've worked on a farm in the summer, it was hard work. It was not mentally challenging. I've worked consulting gigs. They were not physically hard work, but were extremely mentally taxing. It makes sense that we pay more for hard mental work than physical labor as our world grows automated. Moreover for white collar jobs income ties directly to hours worked, many top billing lawyers put in 80 hours a week.

The risk side of the equation should be obvious, it's a risk to invest or to start a business. If you are rich you invest. If you are rich you are likely involved in emerging businesses.

I suppose you could be trying to tax inheritance, but we already take half of that. The wealthy providing for their children is also one of the most healthy and reliable market forces, it drives a ton of low income jobs as well like teachers tutors and coaches. As a broke college student I greatly appreciated SAT tutoring money from the wealthy.


It's so gross to see white people asking for gibs.

Well this income is only on the yearly income over 200k. So if you make 250k per year, you pay 2.5% tax on 50k. So like 1,200$. Yeah its gay. But everyone that lives in Seattle proper and makes that much is a liberal faggot anyways. All the rich republicans live on the other side of lake washington or on Mercer Island.

So its not a big deal at all to the rich in Seattle.

I love the fact that Kansas completely discredited trickle down economics because they went all in for 3 years. And not only did no new jobs come in, they actually lost jobs because companies and rich people don't just look at the tax rate, but how well off their workers will be with the state's social spending and infrastructure. Meanwhile the companies that did stick around just pocketed the money they were given and didn't spend or invest it.

Communism would have a better chance of working after what happened in Kansas.

I now run my own business from home. I commuted to Bellevue for 10 years and have not had to deal with traffic in about 8 months now. I wasted about 6-7 hours per week in traffic for 10 years.

They keep adding stop lights where there used to be stop signs. Traffic much slower on Coal Creek because of this. I accept the 3 deaths per year on the left turn stop sign....price of driving.

Now everyone waits because some asshole coming out of a neighborhood wants to turn left at 6pm. Let's stop 300 cars so one person can turn left.

Do you guys think taxing everyone on one flat rate is a good solution?

Why is it bad to tax the rich slightly more then everyone else? They have privileged life styles. Their money goes to help build better schools, roads, law enforcement, hospitals, etc. why is that a bad thing?

I think we should cut down on certain social programs and have stricter criteria for welfare/medicaid, but I don't really get why it's just so horrible to have the rich pay more. If I made over $200k a year I wouldn't mind paying a higher rate in taxes then someone making $20k. I'm helping the community. That's a good thing

What happens when they move out, because it is more economically feasible to do so? Your city will become much poorer.

Why don't they just do a percentage? You know, fair for all, but of course that same percentage for the wealthy will yield more money naturally. I don't understand these tards.

>>133200396
No other political/economic system in history has created a greater wealth disparity then collectivist systems, be it socialism or communism.

If you are redistributing wealth, that is a redistribution of private property. Wealth is a stock accumulated over time where income is a yearly flow. Big difference. Even someone with moderate income can become wealthy.

>>133200944

A same percentage would be both fair, and still yield more money from the wealthy which is the whole point. As douchey as they may be it is the wealthy who create city projects such as parks, libraries, etc. Count all the buildings in your town or city with someone's name on it, and then think about shoeing them out. I know for a fact that the wealthy often live where they can make the most money on average, and no matter how douchy some may be they are still powerful assets to a town. Don't tempt fate, and make a flat percentage. Win/win.
