It's good that didn't send 1300 jobs to MEXICO!
" What idiot came up with this idea."
Portland will soon be a suburb of Seattle soon anyway, so no matter. =)
Just wait 'til Portland launches the surcharge tax for being a heterosexual white male.
Or business will leave the city limits. No reason why you can't build a WalMart just over the city line.
The city should replace all employees with H-1B's.
Diversity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The city of Portland, Oregon, recently passed a new law that will raise the tax on businesses whose CEO makes substantially more than their workers.
According to the New York Times, companies located in the city will see a 10 percent tax increase if their CEO makes more than 100 times the average pay of their workers and 25 percent tax increase if the CEO makes 250 times the average worker salary.
Uh, really? Like I won't be moving out of the city?? I lived near Portland (for many years) and there are some rather large suburban cities (Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro) nearby that I would take my company to. What idiot came up with this idea. And you thought the scripts on Portlandia were made up and a joke.
