Tax on Rent?

Yep, if Senate Bill 5228 is enacted.  It has cleared the Senate, and there is no reason to think tax greedy Olympia won't go all the way with this one.  Adding tax to rent is the most predatory tax the Democrats have ever come up with. They will spend the millions they collect on what they want, and bleat they are doing work for the people.  I think the people would like better lives, not more taxes.

This tax stinks so badly, I'm just going to use the official digest description.  "[SB 5228] Authorizes a city or town, located in a county with a population of less than four hundred thousand, to impose a special excise tax on the sale of lodging."

SB 5228 can collect tax on nursing homes (court case link).
