Because a lot of SF-based startups are looking to go public in the next few years. This has not been the case before.


So this is a tax cut for millionaires, then. Got it.


If you want to blindly support any tax because it's a tax, and blindly hate any company that makes money because it's "an evil corporation", you are free to do so.

But it's abundantly clear by the facts in this situation that this is a net positive for San Francisco.


If you want to alienate people from your point of view, caricature their own views. The person you're responding to doesn't seem to support taxation for taxation's sake, and doesn't seem to believe companies that make money are "evil".


I agree, that response was out of line on my part. There were many better ways to phrase that.
