Went to Fred Meyers this morning. Saw a person pushing the No Income Tax petition...

Just gave her the "not interested" wave and walked on by.

Washington has the most regressive tax system in the country, founded almost entirely on sales taxes and user fees. Has needed a progressive income tax for decades, but right wing influencers have blocked it so far. Funny how such a blue state gets this one wrong for so long.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
