Washington State Democrats meet in secret to plot an income tax

Yeah, rich people don't own property or employ people. Your MBA must have missed out on how businesses work. According to the internet a $3 million dollar home would pay almost $26,000 a year in property taxes in King County. Seems pretty progressive to me. Some poets from 1971. Pre-MAGA?

You mean someone in King County with a $3 million house and a $1.5 million annual income might pay a whole $26,000 in state taxes?
The horror!
What would that person pay in state taxes in Oregon, Idaho, or Montana? Does anyone own a business or employ people in those God forsaken places?

This reeks of envy
Sales tax, and other non-income tax are your taxes. Despite that the people have spoken on income tax time and time again, you and Olympia don't seem to get it. WA Congress can't help itself with spending and all of the in flux of modern grifters support it, so the beat goes on
Does WA have a highly regressive tax system? Yes. But a majority of the shit poor people complain about would not be an issue if we actually addressed problems instead of throwing money at useless causes with feckless leadership

Envy? You're confused.
I make out like a bandit not having an income tax in Washington.
But it is terrible policy to have the monied class paying a lesser percentage in taxes than everyone else.

It’s also a big consideration of why big companies decided to be based here.
