Here’s the updated simple version for your employees.
When we make a profit, the state of Colorado takes some of it in taxes. Starting next year, the state will take a bigger piece from businesses that earn more. The money left over is what we use to give raises, pay bonuses, hire more people, and grow the company.
Florida does not have a state income tax. If we do more work in Florida, we keep more of the profit from that work. That extra money stays with the Florida part of the company. It is used for the people who work in Florida — their raises, bonuses, and new jobs there.
The extra money we make in Florida is for Florida employees only. It does not come back to help the Colorado side. Expanding in Florida leaves more money for the Florida team because the state takes less. That is why more growth makes sense in Florida.

@TheRMVoice @RobNatelson Yep! My capital will be deployed in Florida! Land of the free

Hold on. I thought we were all ‘No Kings’ now.
So when the people vote for something you don’t like, the correct response is for the legislature to just… override it? Because a narrow majority on a ballot measure is fine and democratic until it isn’t convenient, at which point the supermajority gets to play monarch and ‘fix’ the will of the people?
Cool. Let me know when the crown fittings are scheduled. I’ll bring the popcorn and a copy of the statute that says you can’t do this without looking exactly like the thing you were just protesting.

Imagine you and your friends run a lemonade stand.
The city says, “We’re going to charge a bigger tax on kids who make a lot of money from their lemonade stands.” That’s the rule—the kids who earn the most have to pay more money to the city. Those kids are the ones the law says have to pay.
But here’s what actually happens:
To still make enough money to keep running the stand (and buy more lemons and sugar), the kids raise the price of a cup of lemonade from 50 cents to 75 cents.
Now everyone who buys lemonade—including kids who don’t make much money and just wanted a cold drink—has to pay more. The tax was aimed at the successful lemonade sellers, but part of the cost got passed on to the customers through higher prices.
Over time it gets even clearer. Some kids decide it’s not worth the extra work to keep the stand open as much, so there are fewer lemonade stands around. With fewer stands, the ones that stay open can keep the price higher. Regular kids who just want lemonade end up paying more, even though they weren’t the ones the tax was supposed to hit.
The successful lemonade sellers still feel some of the tax (they don’t get to keep as much money as before), and the customers feel some of it too (they pay higher prices). Nobody escapes it completely, and the people buying the lemonade notice it in their pockets.
That’s basically how it works with grown-up taxes on business owners too. The tax is written so richer business owners pay more, but part of that cost often shows up later as higher prices on the stuff everyone buys.

@TheRMVoice @ShainaCole_ And Buisness will deploy new capital in Florida. The only ones to get hurt are the residents who voted for this.

[Corey Juby @CoreyJuby]

@NashHerm @CompleteCO Got that right. As a business owner why would you deploy capital when it’s more than 8% cheaper to deploy it in Florida…

Jeff Bezos owns a huge store that sells almost everything—snacks, toilet paper, phone chargers, cleaning supplies, and even robot vacuums.
One day people like Bernie Sanders say, “Jeff has way too much money. We’re going to take a big chunk of it every year as a tax. That’ll show him.”
Jeff looks at the tax bill and says, “Okay.” Then he quietly raises the price of everything in his store a little bit.
Now the snacks cost more. The toilet paper costs more. The phone chargers cost more. Even the robot vacuum costs more.
People notice and say, “Wait, we taxed Jeff. Why are we paying more?”
And Jeff, somewhere on a yacht, is probably thinking, “Because the tax didn’t stay with me, genius. It just walked over to the price tags.”
So instead of only Jeff paying, regular families end up paying too—through higher prices. Bernie and his fans get to feel like they stuck it to the rich guy, while everyone else quietly chips in at checkout. Very clever.

Imagine Jeff Bezos has a giant store that sells almost everything—toys, snacks, video games, even the little robot vacuum that keeps eating your socks.
One day the grown-ups say, “Jeff has way too much money. We’re going to take a big chunk of it every year.”
Jeff looks at the bill and goes, “Cool, cool. Totally fine. No problem at all.”
Then he quietly raises the price of everything in the store by a little bit.
Your parents notice the video game you wanted just got more expensive. The snacks at the register cost more. Even the robot vacuum is pricier, which is especially annoying because it still eats socks.
Someone says, “But we taxed Jeff! Why are we paying more?”
And Jeff, somewhere on a yacht, is probably thinking, “Because the tax didn’t stay with me, genius. It walked right over to the price tags.”
That’s the whole idea. The rule says “tax the rich guy,” but the rich guy can often just pass the cost along to everyone else who buys his stuff. So instead of only Jeff feeling it, a whole bunch of regular families end up chipping in through higher prices—while the grown-ups get to feel like they did something heroic.
Very clever system.
