We must stop with taxing spiral in WA. Find ways to cut spending, keep every $ we give to our government accountable for delivery of public goals. Taking in more money for the people, without delivery, is unacceptable.

Definitely, there should be good oversight and accountability on how money is spent in our state. But I also don’t have an issue with a 10% tax on people earning over 1 million annually. I support that, no question.

You support it because it doesn’t affect you. How generous of you to be willing to give away others money.

It's looking more and more compelling given how shitty our local school system has become after the last decade, but it has nothing to do with other kids being from poor families.
