Washington state, once famous for having 0 income tax, passes 10% income tax on 1m+

all the famous people gonna move from these democratic led states
come on, put your $ where your mouth is

poor people think that they are poor because other people are wealthy

the tax is punitive.

Washington, especially seattle, is known for its commerce and innovation. The state is high on annual rankings. Why throw a wrench into something that works?

---

Because the lawyers and politicians use our taxes as their personal piggy bank. They all think that once they get in office, this is how THEY become rich.

quote:

---

Incomes over $1M/year will be taxed at 9.9%.

Wish they'd do this in Colorado leading to a mass exodus. The locals can't even afford to live there.

quote:

---

They'll pcket that money on liberal pet projects that don't actually do anything.

Would support this while quietly moving out to not pay taxes.

How else are they going to pay for their socialist programs?!?

if you move to our state and vote democrat within the first 25 years then you will be taxed with interest up to 12% of each years annual income in those 25 years.

I have good friends that live in Kirkland (suburb of Seattle) and they make close to $1 million a year combined and have been exploring leaving for a year or so now.

This is bad policy and those with the means will leave and take their incomes, spending, and companies with them.

Good luck, Washington. Killing the golden goose never backfires, no?
