Go Amazon. The seattle government has been increasing is tax revenue 30% YoY, expanded its own salaries, expenditures all of that, and even then its not enough that they want to keep raising taxes.

If amazon doesn't punish their greed, then who can? The small business man? The dozens of loitering homeless people downtown?

Seattle resident here. I honestly have no idea where my tax dollars go. Part of it is my fault for not staying up to date, but another part of me is just sick of the socialist mentality.

I own a 1400 square ft home with wife and three kids. At some point, I'm not motivated to work harder if I have to give more and more away instead of saving for retirement or my children's college.
