And I read a lot of derogatory articles about the Indian-American leading this new tax. Not sure what the implication will be for other immigrants in tech. www.geekwire.com/2018/amazon-fund-affordable-housing-seattle-city-leaders-voice-support-150m-head-tax/amp/
Nothing wrong with amazon paying more taxes lol. Shrugs
Jeff B cc’d hahhaha
Yeah, why shouldn't Amazon pay the tax like other businesses?
No other implications for immigrants in tech. You’re clearly not from Seattle. Sawant is a moron, but not because she’s an immigrant
Interesting! Is this the perception people in Seattle have? How did she manage to get the bill passed if she is a “moron”?
She's not a moron. She's evil. There's a difference.
Why do you have to call out that she is an immigrant? What are you implying?
Not calling it out does not change the obvious! Quit trying to deny/ conceal facts. It is all over the internet
My question is why is she being an Indian-American relevant to this tax?
Man she’s trash lol
She has some points !!! That’s why she won the election even if her opponent raised a lot of money ( and was backed by amazon) .
I like her. She’s a perfect sample of what’s coming. You guys make too much, need to “share” all the good fortune you were lucky to stumble upon
Who gives a shit if Amazon finally has to pay taxes and can't loophole their way through everything You really think they'll pay you more when their tax burden is less? You don't think that goes straight to the execs?
The article is from 2018
I never understood why they wanted to push it through as a head tax, just makes it easier for opponents to paint it as punishing job creation. Seems like an income tax would be easier, Amazon employees are paying a shit load to the fed already the state just doesn't get any
WA Constitution outlaws an income tax
Ok. Amazon sucks. Take all their money.
