[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city council is voting tomorrow on a proposal by Nadeau to raise taxes on couples making more than $250,000. Per the Census Bureau, the median family income in DC is $238,000. [/quote] DC has the worst unemployment problem of any major city in the country. How is this helping?[/quote] The new taxes will be used to provide benefits for the unemployed while they look for employment. And expand the unemployment office in DC which will provide jobs![/quote] Potential employers are not locating to high tax jurisdictions. That’s been the trend for almost a decade. Our Council somehow is completely oblivious to this. We are about to enter a death spiral because our Council is comprised 100% of “community activists” that do not possess the skill set or expertise for this moment. [/quote]
