The Washington Court of Appeals ruled Monday that Seattle is legally allowed to implement its own income tax. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Seems like this would be the last nail in the coffin.

If you read it, you'd know they required that the City of Seattle tax everyone at the same rate. Seattle wanted to go after the high earners. So, Vibrant Joe Blow working 20 hours a week at the cannabis shop pays the same rate as a software millionaire. According to the ruling. Since the City isn't going to do that (bad politics), they'll appeal.

Of course you know who first floated the idea of a Seattle Income Tax, right?
Kshama Sawant. Seattle is being destroyed, and when the Liberal residents flee that overtaxed Shit hole the rest of us will have to suffer the consequences. Reminds me of California and their influx and influence here after fleeing their Shit hole State. I cannot wait to retire and leave WA, and it pains me to say that. _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

I didn't think the appeals court had the authority to declare a law unconstitutional.

I can see a couple things that may happen.
1. The people of Seattle will finally wake up and vote out, impeach the current city council. 2. Housing is going to get real cheap there. |
