Democrats Pay For Crime They Created
This is what happens when you let crime run rampant.
More than 100 businesses out of the city of San Francisco are now demanding for Democrats to give them full tax refunds for 2022 because of the rampant crime, drug use and homelessness they have had to deal with thanks to their liberal policies.
In transcript provided by Fox, the Tenderloin Business Coalition said in a statement, “There is a real and palpable fear that the neighborhood is now on the verge of collapse. The neighborhood is not safe because the streets are controlled by drug dealers. Drug dealers operate in very clear and obvious ways to any rational observer…. They prey on residents, openly steal from Tenderloin businesses, they intimidate and extort passersby and all of this behavior goes unchecked by law enforcement.”
Around 135 business owners signed a petition demanding for the “full and complete refund of all sales tax and property taxes paid to the City of San Francisco in the fiscal year 2022.”
“The city has abandoned its commitment to provide a baseline of safety in the neighborhood, thus significant effort and investments made by the business owners and property owners to keep their blocks safe and clean have come to nothing. It is clear the state of the neighborhood is declining. We represent that this is a violation of the City’s implicit bargain with the taxpayer: pay your taxes and the city will ensure safe streets,” the petition explained.
President Biden and the Democrats including Governor Gavin Newsom are fully responsible for hurting these business owners. They should give these business owners their full tax refunds and re-examine the policies which have allowed crime to get this bad.
Sadly, neither President Biden nor any Democrat leader has stepped up to address these issues and it is unclear if they will.
