New taxes, with love....

The Left’s Income Tax
After ten failures, rather than take that as an indication that perhaps Washington shouldn’t have an income tax, Senate Democrats have looked through their tea leaves and read that it’s time to wage a disinformation campaign. Democrats wants voters to believe that their latest proposal, a capital gains income tax, isn’t really an income tax, but an “excise” tax. That simply isn’t true.

Democrats pass low-carbon fuels standard
If Democrats get their way, your monthly gas bill is going to skyrocket. Multiple liberal bills running through the Legislature will raise your gas tax bill. Democrats are hurting working families all so Governor Inslee can add this environmental “achievement” to his presidential campaign stump speech (it would be his only one, by the add  way).

Presently, gasoline taxes are $0.678 per gallon in Washington State ($0.184 is federal tax).  The Democrats new taxes will add $0.37 per gallon in tax, which means you will pay over $1.048 in tax per gallon.  How many gallons do you use per week?
Liberals advance a single payer health care bill
Senate Democrats – led by extremist Sen. Emily Randall -voted with the Seattle Left and advanced a single payer health care bill. Democrats are going to strip away your private insurance plan, just to give Inslee another bullet point to mention on the campaign trail in New Hampshire.
Sen. Fortunato issues letter asking Inslee to reimburse state for campaign security
Speaking of Inslee, when is he going to return the $1.6 million taxpayer dollars he is using on his campaign for security costs when he travels out of state? Inslee' actions are outrageous.
Washington Senate passes Daylight Saving Time bill
On a lighter note, the Washington State Senate advanced a bill that would mandate the state observe Daylight Saving Time year-round. A spokesperson for the bill sponsor, Sen. Jim Honeyford (R-Yakima), called it a “milestone” for Daylight Saving Time bills. Supporters of the bill seem confident this could finally be the year Washington state makes the change after just three no votes came on final passage out of the Senate.  Thanks to this action, Washington State might catch up, time-wise, to Idaho.

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.

“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
