We are fucked in the state of Washington...

Sales taxes, and taxes on ridiculous things like storage units are very regressive. They affect people making $70,000 much more than those who are making $700,000, unless the richer person is a completely reckless spender. They tried to pass one here and I got texts and junk mail from both the chamber of commerce right and pinko left telling me how bad it was.
The Dems want to lift the 1% cap on property tax increases. All my real estate guysms are very concerned that this could actually pass through the legislature.
Dems love the taxes that you can't pin down on anything. Unrealized gains, assessed property tax values.
The value of something is what someone will pay for it. Not what some pocket protector county employee 'thinks' your home is worth. It's a bullshit tax.
Then again, most taxes are bullshit.
I was on empty when I made it back to Idaho after driving to climate pledge sunday.... I filled it up perfectly... filled up at warrior in cle Elum on the way over the pass... and made it to Seattle and back just right... it hurt to pay 352 for gas!
Dems in Oregon doing god's work for the working man. Just the camel's nose under the tent. Perhaps soccer duck can explain this. Irony is that the wine and beer industry in Oregon is probably populated by hard left dems.https://katu.com/news/health/sales-...erey-vineyard-club-politics-revenue-portland-
Portland, Ore. (KATU) — A new bill in the Oregon legislature could result in a sales tax on beer, wine, and cider in Oregon.
House Bill 3197 proposes a 2% tax starting in 2026, eventually climbing to 8% in 2032. The tax would impact consumers at restaurants and at the grocery store. A majority of the funds collected, 85%, would go toward funding youth alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs.
"I don't think it's a surprise to anybody that sales tax is something that Oregon has held at bay and for a good reason," Christine Walter, Owner of Cidermaker of Bauman's Cider Company, said during an interview with KATU news. "It makes us a little more attractive as a destination when people are thinking about traveling, and we don't want to lose that."
The Oregon Beverage Alliance opposes the tax, citing a Monitoring the Future survey that claims youth drinking and drug use is at an all-time low.
“Lawmakers should not be raising prices through a regressive sales tax on constituents when they’re already at record highs. Additionally, the beer and wine sectors are seeing record closures with 70 breweries, taprooms, and brewpubs and 60 wineries and tasting rooms shuttering in the past two years as fewer people are drinking,” a spokesperson with the Oregon Beverage Alliance said.

You provided a link showing that democrats taxes fuck the poor
Thanks again
Thanks again
In terms of raw dollars, an individual in the top 1% (at the lowest income amount in that bracket) would pay 8 times more than an individual earning the highest amount within the lowest income bracket. And that poor person gets a bunch of government assistance.
The TugCon criticism of Washington is so strange. Washington is your wet dream, girls.
You showed that the lowest incomes paid the highest percentage in taxes. Accept victory. Some of us are bright enough to have pointed out how regressive adding 50 cents a gallon to the commuter would be. Now they want 10 cents more. Are you blaming Dan Evans? It was all democrats
As for your desire to extend the pain to the middle class with an income tax the democrats are working on that too
They claimed a capital gains tax wasn't an income tax and got a corrupt supreme court to agree and now Jeff Bezos lives in Florida. Good job. MOre revenue for the poor and middle to make up
You misspelled "I'm a retard"

Thanks for confirming Washington state Democrats fuck The Poors with a regressive tax system. This is nothing new.

Nice to see you came around, even if you did so by accident.
lol yeah man let's go get that 8-11%+ income tax going like Oregon and California have that is causing all the poor people to flee to this state.

I think you girls pretending you are on Team Dan Evans is at least twice as funny as when you pretend to be on Team Ronald Reagan.
And I know quite a bit more about Dan Evans's thoughts on your destruction of his old party than you do.
I hope you’ve prepped for your “big trial” a lot better than you prepped for this latest Shitpost Asskicking.
H is the civil version of Chris Darden asking OJ to try on a dry, shrunken glove.

I think Dan Evans was a throw away line to show how retarded you are but I'd change the subject too after own goaling yourself
The only one here pretending to vote for Reagan is you
I grew up with Dan and his family. Neighbors
