Taxing The Rich Is More Popular Than Any Of The Democrats Who WA Millionaires Tax Both chambers in the Washington State Legislature have now approved the historic “millionaires tax,” which would levy a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. While highlight reels of the marathon floor ...

NEW: 11 Dems in the WA House and Senate voted against the Millionaires Tax. Some can use the purpleness of their district as an excuse, but in all 11 cases, their constituents support taxing the rich more than they do their representatives as candidates www.theburnerseattle.com/post/taxing-...

Good op-ed here. There's no reason to take this "deal" with big corporations anyway. They are trying to get a huge tax cut at the expense of our public schools, while quietly hoping (and maybe even encouraging) right-wing activists to put it on the ballot and kill the millionaire's tax anyway.

The Millionaire’s Tax: Will it be a Win for the People or a Gift for the Corporate Lobby? When our progressive revenue advocacy coalition, Tech4Taxes, sat down with key lawmakers during the legislative interim, we weren't just there to talk policy; we were there to witness a high-stakes tr...

OP ED: Lawmakers want progressives to clap for their corporate-friendly income tax, but with the House striking the bill's $550 million corporate handout, Tech4Taxes activist Fatema Boxwala urges you to tell your reps to pick the people over big biz www.theburnerseattle.com/post/the-mil...

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

UPDATE: Mysteriously the day after advocates decided to register their disgust with the Mayor of Hunts Point for profiting off of the abduction of our neighbors, the City posted the agenda, cancelling the meeting!

Yes. That's a moratorium on detention centers and doesn't apply to private companies

ICE’s Potential New Landlord Is Also The Mayor Of A Small Lake Washington Town According to a flyer circulating social media, advocates want to “pack the room” at a Hunts Point City Council meeting next Monday, March 2nd. It's a seemingly unusual target considering the affluent ...

NEW: Advocates want to pack the room at a City Council meeting in a tiny Lake Washington town and they aren't going to talk about pot holes. The Mayor of Hunts Point is also the president of the company that may soon lease office space to ICE in Tukwila www.theburnerseattle.com/post/ice-s-p...

Slide showing that the repeal of SB 5814 would result in a $157 million loss biennially across all funds including Metro transit

The sales tax cut that was included in the Millionaire's Tax right before it passed off the Senate floor would result in a $157 million hit to King County in its first two years, hitting Metro and other departments including housing and mental health programs.

Washington’s budget has actually declined by 60% overall.

Even though the state’s yearly budget grew from $22 billion to $37 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the past 30 years, it didn’t keep up with our state’s capacity to invest. Learn more: opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/wa...
