The coming wealth flight from Wash State

The last one that failed in 2010 promised lower other taxes in exchange for an income tax above $200k. It was voted down 64/36.

Indeed, neither party can unite on anything except that Race should continue to pay a disproportionate share of all state taxes.
-
Tough to unite when you leftards can't express your policy priorities. You either sexually mutilate children without their informed consent or you don't. Either you let men compete in women sports or you don't. They are men in women and girls bathrooms or they aren't. The border is either open or its closed. The cabal behind the dementia patient had four ears to express their unification ideas.

Gasbag has so many resentments that the clear policy preferences expressed in this conversation about the State of Washington's tax structure completely elude him. Still, we must recognize he was gassed in the trenches, and it's done damage.

Still waiting to hear what taxes and spending H wants to cut
Autistically screaming about fucking the poor while throwing shit at the wall isn't that effective
Thinking that calling me poor is an insult is very un Jesus like
-
The left is happy to negotiate if you just give them everything they want
Remember H screamed like a bitch about DOGE cuts to spending
Never met a tax or spending raise he didn't like
-
If as an article of quasi religious belief you think tax increases can ever be justified or accomplish anything positive, then there is very little anyone can show you that will convince you otherwise.

I just can’t understand why the Republicans with all their power in the state govt won’t just fix the regressive taxes. FFS.
-
The problem is that "regressive taxes" really don't mean anything. If everyone pays the same tax rate, it is hardly regressive unless you just redefine the term. If you pay zero federal income taxes and have a marginal rate of 0%, it's hard to say that someone paying $3 million in federal income taxes and has a marginal tax rate of 37% is benefiting from a regressive tax. If Joe Blow buys 20 gallons of gas he pays the same tax as Daddy Warbucks on his 20 gallon purchase.
-
Upwards of 20 million illegals and hh wants to raise taxes. Taxes of 56 cents per gallon and hh thinks its great. That effects virtually everything that the middle class buys. Forget the gallon of gas in their car, virtually everything that the poor and middle class buy is taxed by every ounce of transportation to get things from the field to the market and then to the store.
hh isn't smart enough to get it but the poor and middle class suffer because of it.

The subject was state taxes, Gasbag. I pay tens of thousands less in state taxes in Washington than I would if, for example, I lived in your right-wing nirvana of Idaho. Washington is a low tax environment for those with high incomes. If you claim otherwise, your argument is with arithmetic. Washington lets the Race Bannons of the world pay a much higher percentage of their incomes in taxes and fees because we won't enact an income tax. That's regressive to people who speak English and know money is fungible.

I know actual rich people in Washington
H is lying. As usual
Loves to tax the poor though. Can't get enough.
-
Dazzler thinks Amazon pays for all their gas.
-
They've never mentioned they know you to me.
-
So what we have here is a Democrat making fun of poor people to argue for a 9 billion dollar tax hike and he wants an income tax and no tax cuts or spending cuts. Why won't the GOP go along guys?
Even in Soviet Washington the voters don't trust the democrats enough to give them an income tax
-
I like how you dodged by using 'state taxes'.
Because property taxes are levied/collected at the county level.
So, sure.gif
-
Property taxes were raised again too. Voters were over ruled to save democracy
-
I was including property taxes, which are governed by state law regardless of who assesses and collects them. How pray tell would the "dodge" you were accusing me of even work? Idaho has a property tax. A sales tax too, for that matter.

Here's a house for sale in CDA $850K Address is 3623 W Hillcrest Circle - couple blocks from the CDA Public Course.
Annual property taxes 2023 $3,822. 2024 assessment down 10.2%
House in Spokane currently listed for sale at $850K - adequate neighborhood. 329 N Lower Crossing St
Annual property taxes 2023 $6,251. 2024 assessment up 5.4%.
Now do that over and over again for things like license tabs, hunting and fishing licenses, gas tax, B&O/excise tax on and on.
Bullshit on paying tens of thousands of dollars less in 'state' taxes.
Add on a minimum wage that is massively inflated in Washington over Idaho- you're paying alright. You're paying left and right and up and down.
-
I already said some taxes would have to go in order to get the votes for an income tax. You're just afraid to engage honestly.
Is it possible you being poor might be related to you being a pussy?
-
So, tens of thousands of dollars in Idaho income tax are offset by the fact I'd pay a $2,000 to $3,000 less in property taxes. Must be the new math, for those old enough to remember that phrase.
-
Give me a fucking list
-
Ready anytime you are Doris
-
If the GOP is concerned about "the little guy", they'd talk about lowering and capping sales taxes, gas taxes, and property taxes as part of the deal. If all they'll insist upon is eliminating the estate and capital gains taxes, I'll let you draw your own conclusions about who they're looking out for.
-
Everyone wants those taxes eliminated
Except democrats
Fuck off. You've defended every tax known to man including all of those. You voted for the faggots that passed them
-
Hey old fella, pretty sure sales, gas, and property taxes existed before I was born.
-
Negotiations are over
-
Cut the other taxes first and we can talk.
-
You’re not paying “tens of thousands of dollars”. GTFO
