| 0:00.0 | A few weeks ago, I told you about the huge tax that Seattle City Council planned for its businesses. |
| 0:05.4 | Amazon, the city's largest employer, would be hardest hit. |
| 0:09.4 | Now, Amazon would own additional $500 per employee on top of the taxes they pay already. |
| 0:15.4 | The new tax would supposedly solve Seattle's housing crisis, but it wouldn't. |
| 0:20.6 | Now, as another liberal run city's homeless camps, they're everywhere, |
| 0:24.8 | and thanks to Seattle's massive over-regulation, available housing cannot keep up with demand. |
| 0:29.8 | Rents are astronomical. |
| 0:32.0 | Now, whenever liberals create problems, do they fix their policies? No, they punish the productive. |
| 0:38.3 | And this new tax targeted successful businesses, which Seattle liberals assume are just rolling |
| 0:44.0 | an extra dough and will roll over and pay any new tax. But Amazon didn't follow the script, |
| 0:50.8 | and bend over and grab the ankles. Instead, they immediately halted their Seattle expansion plans. |
| 0:56.5 | For once, officials back down, a little. Instead of $500 per employee, the city council voted to |
| 1:02.7 | only tax big companies, $275 per employee. But here's a warning for Jeff Bezos. The liberals who |
| 1:10.8 | run your town are going to be back for the rest of it. Taxes are all they know. Your success made you |
| 1:17.1 | a target, and you're going to stay a target. Guaranteed, no matter how big a liberal you are, |
| 1:22.4 | no matter how proud they are of you owning the Washington Post, they're going to get you, Jeff. |
