Say "NO" to State Tax in Washington State

HERE WE GO AGAIN; ANOTHER PROPOSAL IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

A STATE INCOME TAX: Thursday at 12 noon, the public was made aware of SB6250, a bill that would impose the first ever income tax on Washingtonians. SB6250 was not made public before it was read in the Senate Ways and Means Committee, and with just hours to prepare, Washington's business community did its best to speak out in opposition.


There is much speculation that this proposal is a very politically motivated ploy, designed to cause uproar and test the public appetite for a tax that Democrat leadership has wanted to advance for a long time. It does represent another ornament on their tree of tax and fee proposals.

Justifiably, there are a thousands of Washington residents who are angry about this income tax, but in the end, it's just another revenue generating proposal that reminds us of the fact that our state legislators are not debating the right issue.

Even if the idea of an income tax goes no-where this session, we want to give you the opportunity to get "on the record" about how you feel about the proposal. Let your legislators know that you don't appreciate yet another well crafted, political distraction away from the real solution to the budget deficit. It's not about how to extract more tax money from Washingtonians and their private sector businesses; it's about reigning in spending and getting back to the priorities of government so that Washington and its citizens can succeed!
