He has had enough of DemocRAT governing --Starbucks corporate headquarters is moving to Nashville. The wealth exodus is underway. Democrats have significantly impacted WA's economy.

Sure. Corporate bigwigs and billionaires don't like to pay taxes.
So?

If you want to leave, then goodbye. Basically it's no big deal. How about "See ya, don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Oh. Didn't know the pop song, or TV character, or whoever Felisha is.
I think Washington State should be glad to see billionaires leave. They contribute nothing, and in fact are detrimental to the people's welfare because they back conservative causes. Let them suck MAGA's toes in Florida.
Our history in Oregon is that of fairly steep progressive taxation. It doesn't play well for rich folks or big corporations to live here, and in fact, we have few of the former and only two of the latter, Nike and Intel. Yet, somehow, we have a high quality of life and our government is well funded. We have the best state-run healthcare system in the country.
I would be happy to see our government conduct a forced evacuation of our rural MAGA counties and turn them into nature preserves. Oklahoma would have plenty of room for the evacuees. Washington could and should do the same. A MAGA-free society is a happy and prosperous society.

Typical kevin commie response who thinks rich people get their money by magic.
Schultz investment took a company that had less than 2 dozen stores to 33,000 and 361,000 employees. So much for a billionaire not contributing.
Jobs & Wozniak sold their cars to create Apple.

Typical Tom response, to put words in other people's mouths and then argue against them.
Weak, little Tommy.
I never said that billionaires "get their money by magic " However, billionaires have enough wealth in their pockets to support, oh, say, ten thousand people. Nobody needs that much money. So the concentration of wealth hurts society.
Little Tommy doubtless doesn't understand what I'm saying. Now let him barf up another straw man argument.
Stupid little Tommy-poo.

Why? Because you don't have it you are entitled to somebody else's money?
Under kevin logic if somebody won a jackpot in a casino, should that person then give his winnings to all the people who lost?

A casino is not society. But if a society was playing in a casino--or if any group had pooled their resources to play together, and one person won a jackpot, should that person keep it all?
I'm turning your stupid analogy back on you. That billionaire didn't amass his fortune all by himself, with his skill, his derring-do, or even his luck. He did it via the collective efforts of thousands of people. The players in a casino aren't affiliated in any way. But if they were--as in, if they were members of the same society--thry definitely should pool and equally divide their winnings.
What I said zoomed waaaay over your little head. No one person should accumulate that much wealtb--not when tens of millions of people can barely afford to exist. The bell curve of personal wealth shouldn't extend from zero to $38 billion.
But regardless--you're doing your usual Tom-stupid straw man argument, exactly as I predicted. You're such a child. When did I say that anyone else was entitled to a billionaire's money? I said that a billionaire has far more money than a person needs to exist. And many, many people don't have enough money to exist. If all that wealth was in the hands of ten thousand people instead of one single person, society would be better off.
A system that concentrates such wealth in the hands of one person is ethically, morally, and functionally wrong.
Do you even dimly comprehend what I'm saying? Or do you not, and you'll just crap out some idiot insult, like I'm a COMMIE or a SOOOOOCIALIST?
