[Mpls] New Sales Tax: Another nail in the coffin for the Mplseconomy

[Jim Bernstein]

I know Vicki is a stickler for specifics so I am comfortable asking the
following:

Which bars were destroyed?
Which retailers were destroyed?
Which private apartment owners were destroyed?
What has been regulated out of existence?
Whose small business was taxed into bankruptcy?
Which "political insiders" got the millions?

The last one is especially important!

Comments from Vicky:

It's hard to keep track of all the anti-business crap coming out of City
Hall.  Let's see....

Destroy the bars,
Destroy the retailers,
Destroy the private apartment owners,
Spawn millions of square feet of vacant office space,
Regulate everything that moves out of existence,
Build and buy overpriced monuments that generate NO income,
Give away millions of dollars to political insiders,
Give away millions of dollars to corporate welfare seekers,
Tax, tax, tax, small businesses until they are bankrupt,
Tax, tax, tax, individuals who can't escape (or ride the LRT to
Bloomington)

Minneapolis - the City where everything is banned or mandated, until it
can
be taxed or regulated to death.
