“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants. If we’re not there, there are going to be less people being paid.”
Ken Griffin is such an idiot and I'm so glad he left my beautiful home town of Chicago. If you're not there driving up costs of real estate, then regular people can start to afford a home and a storefront to employ other people so all parties can make a reasonable living—rather than the minimum wage this asshole's restaurants—or whatever other businesses he owns—probably pay. You don't need to make billions in profit to be a "successful business person." Instead you can pay your employees a fair wage so they can live a comfortable life while still making a nice chunk of change for yourself at the same time.
