> Does a family making 250K-300K in Seattle really count as "rich"? ...A family earning 200-250K in Seattle will definitely feel this tax.

A family of 4 could live pretty well on half that in Seattle. Maybe they aren't "rich" as in "filthy rich", but I don't see how they'd actually feel it, other than savings goals having to be slightly less aggressive.

At $250,000 / year, your pre-tax monthly income would be about $28,833 and a tax of 2.25% would shrink that by $468. I don't see how I could honestly say I felt the tax if I made only half of 250k and they double it to 4.5%.

That sounds like how people become low level managers, too.

Leaking air also isn't as much of a problem, since a pump just pumps more in, as long as the leak isn't too bad.

You define types for everything.

It lets you define types for more safely interacting with other Javascript code. It doesn't magically make browsers have consistent behavior.

Why would someone use ClojureScript instead of this? Unless they're a Clojure expert.

I like how you discriminate against CS knowledge in general because a single person couldn't get stuff done.

A trial week seems like it would only work for more desperate candidates, ones who are currently unemployed.
