Olympia is going on a tax-hiking rampage, please help us help taxpayers

Despite every politician who ran in 2012 said “no new taxes,” the citizens of Washington are facing the greatest onslaught of tax increase proposals in our state’s history.

 

         Candidate Inslee repeatedly promised to veto any tax increase.  He said no way to higher transportation taxes in 2013.  Inslee said he’d grow jobs to generate more tax revenue.  What a lying whore he turned out to be.  In recent weeks, he’s made it clear he’ll sign any tax increase the Legislature unilaterally imposes.  Is there any doubt that Inslee would have lost by a landslide if he’d been honest about his tax-hiking plans during the campaign?

 

         Despite almost 2/3 of voters passing the 2/3 protection just 3 months ago, Olympia is going on a tax-hiking frenzy.  Yesterday, it was increasing gas taxes to the highest in the nation, bringing back sky-high car tab taxes (despite 3 initiatives capping them at $30), and other taxes and fees.  In recent weeks, they’ve been pushing new state income taxes, capital gains taxes, higher death taxes, and the final insult:  extending taxes that were supposed to be temporary.

 

         Because the voters keep approving the 2/3-vote-requirement for higher taxes, politicians have been forced to restrain themselves in recent years.  But like a raging alcoholic who’s been away from the bottle too long, Olympia is about to go on a major bender like none we’ve seen before.

          Our PAC name for 2013 is “Voters Want More Choices – NO NEW TAXES 2013”.  That is our mission for this year.  We need your help to achieve it.   We can only make that happen with your help.
