If you do the math on Amazon warehouse scale thats 1500 employees, a third of a million dollars taken from those employees paychecks and their customers. Those employees start at just over 11 bucks an hour. They cannot afford micro brews.
Oh, did you think Bezos was going to pay it?
Winner, Winner...Chicken Dinner. You just made my point.
Bezos, the $100 BILLION Social Justice Warrior, that is taking over the world, the NEW LIBERAL KING, taking advantage of the very workers, he and the Left are supposed to care so much about. Workers or the world Unite. Unless you work for Amazon, in one of his wharehouses, where you’re forced to piss in a bottle.
However, this tax applies to the workers in Seattle. Where his corporate officers are. All the, Hipster Techies and Managers that he has working for him, not the grunts filling orders in a warehouse. Those warehouses are in rural areas, where they have low property taxes and Amazon was able to dupe the local governments into giving him the land for free, because of all the jobs that he’s going to bring.
Remember, to get cities competing for his, H2, he promised thousands of jobs w/ everyone making over $100,000 or more.
Being the SJW that he ‘says’ he is, he should be giving money to the Seattle and building homes for all the homeless. Instead, he threatens to take his toys and go home. Just like any good liberal.
