Topic: economy comment
Not sure how true this is but sounds good to me
inspired by the front page WSB article about tim burgess announcing his candidacy for mayor, i did a little googling and found a pretty comprehensive article about him from the stranger, july 10, 2012.
he doesn’t quite do it for me.
say what you want about mcginn, but he’s not a politician, and i like that. and he has a history of flipping off the downtown power elite. which is probably why so many negative comments pop up any time he is mentioned in the press. the public is largely unaware of what the mayor does, but they read articles in the times, which has a well-known anti-mcginn bent.
burgess, however, is someone who seems… malleable, and i don’t like that. mainly because i’m not someone who has the money or influence to mold him. and i disagree with the notion that people downtown automatically know what’s best for the entire city – which seems like people buying government they can deal with, rather than deal with the populace and its fickle will.
and there’s the fact that commenters to the WSB article (linked above) allude to mcginn being at fault for making seattle look bad in face of the DOJ investigations. but tim burgess, as chair of the public safety committee, was no more productive or engaged.
and to the one-issue deep bore tunnel voters: before you talk about mcginn “impeding progress,” remember who “won” that argument. my suggestion for those of you who despise mcginn for trying to make sure your property taxes didn’t get jacked up when the tunnel goes over budget:
elect the tunnel boring machine for mayor.
just throwing some fertilizer out there. what are you thinking?
A link to the full piece on CommonDreams.org is below. In the meantime, here’s a summary:
1. Only THREE PERCENT of the very rich are entrepreneurs.
2. Only FOUR OUT OF 150 countries have more wealth inequality than us.
3. An amount equal to ONE-HALF the GDP is held untaxed overseas by rich Americans.
4. Corporations stopped paying HALF OF THEIR TAXES after the recession.
5. Just TEN Americans made a total of FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS in one year.
6. Tax deductions for the rich could pay off 100 PERCENT of the deficit.
7. The average single black or Hispanic woman has about $100 IN NET WORTH.
8. Elderly and disabled food stamp recipients get $4.30 A DAY FOR FOOD.
9. Young adults have lost TWO-THIRDS OF THEIR NET WORTH since 1984.
10. The American public paid about FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS to bail out the banks.

Unfortunately, none of these stats are authoritatively referenced on the Common Dreams page. Therefore, you’ll have to decide for yourself how credible they are.
I was most intrigued by the first item – the one about entrepreneurs among the wealthy – since that one played a key role in the recent election. The full text under Item 1 is this:
1. Only THREE PERCENT of the very rich are entrepreneurs.
According to both Marketwatch and economist Edward Wolff, over 90 percent of the assets owned by millionaires are held in a combination of low-risk investments (bonds and cash), personal business accounts, the stock market, and real estate. Only 3.6 percent of taxpayers in the top .1% were classified as entrepreneurs based on 2004 tax returns. A 2009 Kauffman Foundation study found that the great majority of entrepreneurs come from middle-class backgrounds, with less than 1 percent of all entrepreneurs coming from very rich or very poor backgrounds.
