So tax Bill Gates and pay the costs

Seattle’s Revolt of the Elites

Since the release of Eric Johnson’s documentary Seattle Is Dying, which depicts an epidemic of street homelessness, addiction, crime, and disorder, city elites have launched a coordinated information campaign targeted at voters frustrated with the city’s response to homelessness. Earlier this month, leaked documentsrevealed that a group of prominent nonprofits—the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Campion Advocacy Fund, the Raikes Foundation, and the Ballmer Group—hired a PR firm, Pyramid Communications, to conduct polling, create messaging, and disseminate the resulting content through a network of silent partners in academia, the press, government, and the nonprofit sector. The campaign, #SeattleForAll, is a case study in what writer James Lindsay calls “idea laundering”—creating misinformation and legitimizing it as objective truth through repetition in sympathetic media.

The public relation scam started by Bill introduces his interesting fact, taxes are available to pay for the mess.  The taxes are from Bill's pile, Seattle is free to tax Bill and pay for it.

But I have seen Bill Gates make claims that he will pay, then he reneges.  A shifty fellow and the best solution is to tax Bill's wealth, make him put his money where is mouth is.
