Seattle Moves to Silence Dissent From Corporations
15th January 2020
When government seeks to enact laws that harm your interests, should you have a right to speak out to defend yourself?
The Seattle City Council recently voted to shut down such public dissent. Using foreign attempts to interfere with U.S. elections as an excuse, the city council passed a bill to retaliate against American companies that had opposed an onerous city tax on employers. The move is the latest in a string of attempts around the country by politicians to enact campaign finance restrictions to immunize themselves from public accountability.
That’s what you get when Democrats run your city.
