Seattle Made Top 10 Most Expensive Cities to Live Before the Homeless Tax | Armstrong Economics

Business Insider has published a map of the top 10 most expensive places to live and work and guess what – Seattle is in the list even before they impose this new outrageous tax of $275 per employee for companies that do more than $20 million in business annually. They claim it is for the homeless people which is really nonsnse. It’s like New York City taxes cigarettes to make people stop and when they do, they tax the electronic cigarettes because their revenue declines.

The number of businesses being hit is not just Amazon. These cities are becoming the place to avoid and they just never stop with the taxes. They go through money like it is water to be flushed down the toilet.

Seattle has certainly reach the top our the list of where NOT to recommend any business establishment. This is how empires, states, and cities die. They just keep imposing more and more taxes without end so it simply becomes less burdensome to pick up and leave. The top states where there is now a net migration out are California, New York, and New Jersey. Cities that are dying rapidly are Chicago. Seattle’s homeless tax will most likely be the straw that breaks the back of that city as well.

What is astonishing is the fact that Amazon put a hold on its development of offices there, they was to call this extortion justifying criminally charging Amazon? Clearly, nobody should even consider Seattle as a place for business and the aggressiveness and insanity of taxation in that city will not end here. It just may be time to leave before it is too late and it becomes a crime to migrate.
