Speaker 1 (00:00):
Last week, the Seattle City Council approved a payroll tax
on Amazon, city's largest employer, the company that's responsible for
creating more jobs than any other business in that town.

that was just for starters. Listen carefully to what the
selected official said to her city's largest job creator. We
are coming for you in your rotten system, she said

stop until they turn America into what Seattle is becoming
a dangerous, lawless socialist heellhole. Why Amazon stays there mid
all this hate? I really don't know.
