"Past a certain point, raising taxes yields declining tax revenue. Why? Because the more you tax a certain human behavior, the less those humans will want to do that behavior.
For example, the more you tax well-paying jobs (as Seattle is doing), the less employers will want to offer them."

Agreed, Ma'am
Minneapolis is doing the same. Watch the new exodus. Not to get away from what they caused but the greedy bastards don't want to pay for it.
So when they move to your town as they did mine, remember....they aren't there to assimilate. They don't want to be a Virginian, Texan, A Hoosier......Nope. they want to rebuild your great state in the image of the horrible place they left. This time....without paying for it.
It will fail again. Like a cancer they will move to the next state and do it again.
To do the same thing over and over knowing the result will be the same but hoping it won't.....not same.
Be wary patriots.

Sgt Vance Bonds Happened in Michigan. We took a big Blue hit in Fall 2018– GOV, LTGov, AttyGen, Sec of State, crazy RashidaTlaib...but as wise people on RP have told me, “The people voted for them, they deserve to suffer until they change things.” Have you noticed,though, that nationwide evil is overwhelming good ?

Sgt Vance Bonds
Sgt (Join to see) Yes I have noticed. I still wonder though if all the elections were honest. Here in Nevada buses showed up at voting places. People got off, voted and got back on. In Vegas no one would give an interview. The busses were hired, supposedly by the International Service Employees Union. Obama's old buddies. It was being investigated but the ballots and results were destroyed. Same as what happened in Georgia and a couple other states. The State said the elections were certified so no need for to keep the records.
Investigation needed.
True, if the people did vote in the Socialists/Communists, they deserve the bad treatment that's coming for them.
But for us, we shouldn't lose our way of life because of these idiots.
These fools want our homes. Voting is supposed to be how to run the country and by whom under the constitution. Not, destroy the constitution. How does a person take an oath, Rashid Tlaib, when they admit they won't protect or defend it. That its abhorrent to them and must be rewritten, destroyed, it's the worst document ever written, Justice Ginsberg. I'm tired of allowing people in who have no intention of assimilating. We let in Radicals, Communists and Socialists. We need to stop. We need to look inwards and evaluate our morals and what we used to stand for. Go back to the Constitution for political direction, not Marx, Lennin, Mao, Pol Pot......I heard some Democrats yesterday ask why we couldn't be more like Europe?
YOU ARE KIDDING ME
We aren't Europe. If people want that, move there. Don't come here from wherever and attempt to remake my nation like the place you fled from.
Sgt (Join to see) This is America not Spain or Venezuela.
Our constitution allows for it's own destruction through amendments and repeals. But we don't do that because we and our politicians took an oath to defend and protect it. Not destroy it.
One last rant, Ma'am. I promise....
I watch a Seattle City Councilwoman talk about how it was in her native India. I don't care about India like that. I could care less. If she wants India...does she also want a Cast System here, abuse of women and children? She should go back to her "Native India" and tell them how great they are. I only want to hear how great we are.
Thank you Ma'am and forgive me for going on so. Have an awesome day.

Cynthia Croft Sgt Vance Bonds I agree with both of your thoughts, they are linked. Peoples hearts are turning swiftly from truth in every way from things about their countries to who the true God is. They’d rather embrace violence, injustices, greed and immorality than be good people. Big time darkness is coming upon the Earth and it seems like it can’t be turned back. Everyone does “what is right in his own eyes .”
Our greatest source of peace, security and provision for the future will come from Father God who could send ravens to us with food if need be.

WTFO? Typical TAX the average person, but exempt government! Is this any surprise? Read the article. Interesting!
I found this interesting: "...Analysts found that “tree trimmers lopped off $160,604; the chief librarian made $197,704; electricians earned $271,070; electrical lineworkers made $307,387; and police officers earned up to $414,543.” The new payroll tax will not apply to any of these government employees or their peers otherwise drowning in taxpayer cash..."
Damn, I'll go cut trees in Seattle, for two years. Humm, if we cut down tree in the Pacific Northwest will be in opposition to the "Green New Deal"? Just asking........
