Northwest Progressive Institute Advocate |
Nick Hanauer in the debate over I-1098 at UW Tacoma:
In my experience, entrepreneurs aren't that shortsighted. They tend to be much more visionary, and care much more broadly about the situation they're in, than what the tax rate is on the income that they might possibly make in the future. What they care about is, Am I in a context that allows me to create great wealth? And that has everything to do with the kind of community we build, together.
If it was true, what they say about taxes, then the best opportunities would be in the places with the least taxes... like Somalia. But it's not true, is it? Is it? It's not true. The best opportunities to create great wealth, in this country — and in the world — are in high-tax places.
