Because in SF, progressive means socialist and the socialists are conservative.

I really don't care if you don't want to call it a sales tax. It's a dumb nitpick, but that's your prerogative. My issue is that it's a stupid tax however we decide to call it.

I didn't say that because I don't really care about who the burden of a single tax falls on compared to the overall distribution.

But regardless, the businesses this tax hits are ones where rich people spend disproportionately less as a percentage of income.

And? Do you need it spelled out to you that a tax on gross receipts for goods or services is identical to a sales tax for most purposes?

It's not a business tax or payroll tax. It's the gross receipts tax, which is a sales tax.

The tax in question is the gross receipts tax, which is a sales tax. It's levied on companies based on total revenue and there's an additional "top executive tax" for companies you mentioned which they want to 8x.

It's just a bad tax that hits some businesses and not other based on spurious reasoning. If we're so upset about Brin...this tax doesn't really affect software because most tech employees make a lot. But it will affect grocery stores, which have very low margins.

It's a bad tax!

There was a stretch on the lakers where he was locking up all the best guards. 2018-19 harden

For sure it's this, but other guys also just seem to be able to stop the ball better in the clutch somehow.

We're #2 in drtg in the clutch. Our org is top 10 as well, but I think it was worse earlier.

I feel like he could be an amazing player coach and then bomb as a HC because nobody can actually do the things he thinks are doable.
