San Francisco voters approve new taxes for wealthy CEOs and tech companies


This should be in the GOP platform
Just like with Bill Gates, he will take his money and move , like he did to Arizona.

The people of San Francisco did the right thing.

Something needs to be done about the huge wage gap.

Business certainly isn't going to do it. If they didn't like paying low wages while the executives and ceos make millions, they would be paying their employees a better wage and lower the wages of people at the top. I would include a huge penalty for those companies that leave the area or outsource.

This or something like this needs to be implemented nation wide.

I would use all the revenue to pay down the deficit and if the deficit is ever eliminated again, start paying down the debt.

Business has been given billions hand over fist. It didn't stop them from leaving America. They have gotten deregulations for decades. That didn't stop them from leaving America.

In fact, all it did was encourage them to leave America.

It should be illegal for any corporation that is making billions or trillions of dollars to not pay a penny in federal income taxes.

We need to make it much more expensive and destructive for companies to leave America. Hit them with huge tax penalties for decades. Require them to create twice as many jobs as they take out of America and jobs that pay much better with much better benefits than what is offered to those in other nations.

That is what will keep jobs in America. Not showering them with tax cuts, deregulations and huge welfare in "subsidies" from the government.

Bill Gates doesn't have a problem with taxes. Did he say he was buying that land in Arizona because of taxes?

It's weird because in 2010 Bill Gates and his dad sponsored and were major contributors to a new income tax on the rich in Washington state.

His dad made an ad for it and went around the state that year working to get it passed.

Here is an article from this past January with Gates talking about the subject saying exactly the opposite of what you insinuate in your post.

If a city raises taxes on the bosses, the bosses are being forced to lower other people's wages so they will have enough money to pay the new tax.

Why not raise the minimum wage instead? Higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more in tax revenue.

Why would any company stay there? It's a punitive tax on success. Not sure it would stand up to legal challenge either.

And productivity will drop because many businesses can’t afford that wage.

What a jealous cuck you are.

This isn't a tax, it's punishment and will be thrown out by the first non progressive hack judge it crosses.

Because it will just increase costs and thus eliminate any benefit?

Wages merely need to beat inflation on an Institutional basis.

Wow, talk about deluded reasoning. Increasing costs without increasing productivity leads to inflation and elimination of any increase in wages, which requires wage increases which increases costs without increasing productivity, and the cycle continues.
