Add Income Taxation - The Swindle Continues

HB 3070, titled "AN ACT Relating to fiscal reform," has been introduced in the House of Representatives. The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected feepayers.

The cost of this tax is massive: $69,655,191,008 in income taxes over a ten year period. That's over $1000 more tax per resident! It's over $2000 per taxpayer!

Democrats in control of Olympia tells us we have a $2.6 billion shortfall in the budget. Meanwhile, state workers get $19,500 more per year than comparable private sector employees. Don't you think the shortfall is caused by the Democrats' poor and intrusive planning, not a lack of taxation?

We need open government in Washington State. We got a Democratic Party Machine. Expect Washington State's economic downturn to last until we get the Democratic Party out.
