Kshama Sawant has never been content to let someone else get attention – like say, candidates on the ballot next Tuesday. So, today, she came out with something sure to thrill her far-left supporters: a new tax package, to go on top of the tax package on the ballot this year!
The Seattle Times reports that Sawant wants to impose “an annual head tax of $18 per employee and a commercial-parking-tax hike of 5 percent” to provide for “a mass expansion of public transit.”
Evidently, for Sawant, there is no downside to a “mass expansion” of taxes which could drive businesses and consumers out of the city. Undoubtedly, small business owners and council members in neighboring cities will be cheering Sawant on in her latest attack on capitalism in Seattle.

That vile woman has no business saying anything. She left the abject poverty of her fellow countrymen to stomp on the heads of hard working American citizens living in Washington State. She’s an empty headed, heartless communist. And those idiots who voted for her should be sent back to India with her to fix THEIR problems first. Prove yourself, you wretched creature.

ah but she climbed out of poverty by marrying a MSFT millionaire. So now she is a rich commie. Is that an Oxymoron….or just moron?
