Now there is no denying it. Microsoft President Brad Smith is throwing Washington workers to the wolves – staying neutral on the income tax fight in order to avoid a statewide payroll tax. For shame.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Let's just leave things with this sentiment: Washington state's budget is the highest it's ever been, and Democrats have proven they cannot run the state effectively with record amounts of money. What makes anyone with a brain think that they can be trusted with more?

@Microsoft @BradSmi Microsoft President Brad Smith is taking a neutral position on Washington’s proposed income-tax fight. Critics say that stance protects Microsoft from a potential statewide payroll tax. That’s the documented dispute, let voters judge it.

@Microsoft @BradSmi What about H1B workers brought in after firing LEGAL 🇺🇲 citizens with MicroSoft over 15 yrs... he's a freaking scumbag @Microsoft @BradSmi TRAITOR!!👋

@Microsoft @BradSmi Who cares. We vote to reject it this Nov. Thats all we have to do. A CEOs comments arent going to change anyone's minds.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Microsoft used to be a decent company but then it went off the rails woke under Satya Nadella.

@Microsoft @BradSmi He needs perks from Olympia. That's how it works. Always has !

@Microsoft @BradSmi There is no denying you condone child rape

@Microsoft @BradSmi He & his company have regularly donated to the leftists pushing all these taxes. So of course he’ll play “neutral” now…just call it political expediency.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Washington has a Dems. Monopoly. So here’s to the political class

@Microsoft @BradSmi Too bad folks like you can’t champion real comprehensive tax reform in WA, instead of crying for millionaires. Middle/lower income folks are saddled w/ regressive consumer taxes. They pay the bills and so does small business. I’m not crying for millionaires right now.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Pissed off Brandi is really the very best Brandi. 🥹

@Microsoft @BradSmi The reason Washington State Suffers Is Narcissistic Greed And drug addled Selfishness

@Microsoft @BradSmi Might I remind you that Microsoft has always been for increasing taxes, specifically for things like transportation? Granted, they don’t mention how the majority of taxes raised on things like gas and other transportation related goods don’t make it to fix our roads.

@Microsoft @BradSmi I doubt thats the case. Just because people dont show up how you may want, doesnt mean they arent showing up.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Always great insights! Your analysis cuts through the noise. You and @AdamJohnstph are my go-to accounts.

@Microsoft @BradSmi You believe our elections are solid?

@Microsoft @BradSmi The fact that Microsoft will not publicly fire Nikki Floris “I am basically running a shadow government inside the FBI right now” while she was hiding fake Chinese made DLs that had been used to register to vote for Biden. Microsoft is done for me not another penny.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Guess what? I bet you didn't know that if you're a socialist, you're a part of the resistance. Personally, I feel like I've missed the boat. I always saw myself as a freedom fighter against the evil elite. As it turns out, the democrat lunatics are the freedom lovers. Who knew?!

@Microsoft @BradSmi Not surprising. Bill Gates still has sway there, no matter how much it's denied.

@Microsoft @BradSmi Payroll tax is coming in the coming session in Olympia

@Microsoft @BradSmi Wow newsflash. Corporations do everything they can to avoid taxes. But only people who make more than $1 million/year will pay the Millionaire tax. The rest is fearmongering. Unlike fanatics like you, I believe it's a civic duty to pay taxes. We should make them less regressive.
