If you plan to vote yes to the repeal of the "millionaire tax,” you will be voting to raise your taxes.
Washington state needs money to fund programs that benefit us all.
If the richest among us don't pay for it, then taxes on the rest of us have to go up.
I admit, the millionaires have worked hard for their money; they are still keeping 100% of it under $1 million and 90% over a million.
If you would rather that your property taxes go up to fund schools, healthcare and child care, vote to repeal the millionaire tax.
