All businesses over $3 million were then subject to the tax. (Chappy said $5 mill).

I said $5 million because it is $5 million. Here is the link for the instructions on the baseball fee tax form. Here is a link to the original legislation. See page 21.

That means any new taxes to make up the difference of $200 million and any new taxes for nearly anything else the city needed would get levied upon or passed on to the good people of DC.

Wrong again. The city has other revenue streams from the ball park, including the rent the Nats pay as well as parking fees and other fees collected from people actually going to the stadium.

Leftists like Chappy want to think taxes have no impact on people.

No. I fully admit that the people that solicit the richest businesses may be affected, though if you look at how much revenue is being generated it is very small. For a company making $5 million in revenue, the fee amounts to 11 one hundredths of one percent. What I do not claim is that poor black people in the District will be footing the bill.

All businesses over $3 million were then subject to the tax. (Chappy said $5 mill). There are (or were) about 2,000 such businesses in DC back in 2004. Chappy gave the correct number.

The price of the stadium was projected at 440 million back in 2004. It actually cost over $600 million. Some say $760 million. Nobody will ever know the true cost as the DC government will bury any costs is wants to hide.

The DC City Council promised no more taxes on businesses after they agreed to pay for the $440 million. That means any new taxes to make up the difference of $200 million and any new taxes for nearly anything else the city needed would get levied upon or passed on to the good people of DC.

Leftists like Chappy want to think taxes have no impact on people. That is why idiots like Obama can complain about unemployment one second and then turn around and cause unemployment by taxing businesses the next minute and never think about it twice.

Corporations don’t pay taxes. People do. Taxes “trickle down” to people in the form of higher costs and lost jobs.

Cuomo won a legal ruling last week that entitles him to publicly identify the bonus recipients. But he held off revealing the names after Liddy said some employees had received threats.

The attorney general said Monday that he wouldn’t release the names of people who returned their bonuses.

“If a person returns the money, I don’t believe there’s a public interest in releasing their name,” he said.
