Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast where we talk to our friend and sponsor of the show, Zach Abraham from Bullwork Capital Management.

And today, Zach, it's going to be hitting close to home because your mayor in Seattle is batshit.

So she just was quoted last week as saying she thinks like this whole idea of millionaires

fleeing the city.

It's totally overblown or leaving the state, actually, totally overblown.

But even if they are like bye was what she said.

And now there's a startup founder of Venice AI, actually, who is the sponsor of our show for a while, who is now saying with this new millionaires tax that they're proposing, he might skedaddle and he knows like a whole bunch of other folks in his position that are thinking about the same thing.

The question is, are you?

Well, really quick, do you know what his name is?

No. Yes, it's Jesse Proudman. Yeah, I know, Jesse. I was just DM on within the other day, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Is he going to go? Yeah. So I'm involved. I am involved with that group. Jesse and I are in the same group that the ex-attorney general of our state is filing.

He's doing our legal for us.

I was just in a meeting with all these guys on Monday.

Here's where my family is on this.

We are going to stay and fight this thing.

If this law is enacted, if it stays in place, I'll be leaving.

I'm not paying the tax.

And the reason I'm not paying the tax, there's so many different reasons that, first of all,

in the face of it, this is one of the most ridiculous court cases ever brought because this whole issue was litigated in 1933 over this exact same thing. So trying to make an argument, the only way they can pass a tax in the state of Washington, in the state of Washington, the Constitution says that you cannot pass any tax that is incrementally applied, meaning it has to be applied to everybody evenly and it's capped at 1%.

Okay?

So with that law on the books,

wait a minute,

I thought your sales tax was like 10.
