Id love it if half people walking the street in Seattle were billionaires. Just in dollars they are individually paying taxes equivalent to thousands and thousands of people that work a 9-5 for the median wage. These are the people that you want to penalize for living here in Washington?
Wyoming has no inheritance tax and welcomes people with big cash. The do as I say not as I do liberal big shots all have homes in jackson hole so they can pass money down tax free. Prove your there six months a year and your kids can have the same advantage.
The banned user guy obviously pays no taxes and due to the vocabulary etc there's little chance he isn't on assistance from the state paid for by the billionaires he ignorantly hates.
Taxation is by definition destroying liberty. We put up with it because some well meaning, long since dead, people in the 1930s did not have a crystal ball to see that programs with good intentions become larger and more manipulated by people over time. No one in the United States paid individual income taxes before 1913. Then as with bill gates srs promise it was only the very wealthy that would pay. Fast fwd to the present and who bears the brunt of the taxation in the United States today? The middle class. Trusting people (that's all the government is, people) that newly thought up taxes will remain limited to some social class is idiotic when you review the history of such promises.
Also eff you to people that say we aren't as bad a other states so we should feel good. Two (or 49) wrongs don't make a right.
