Personally, my guess is that the store is owned by a Republican who is trying to make a statement

Nope, we love the hooch. Not really a republican but not on the left either. Moot point we all love the hooch.

Agreed. We're a state run by Democrats and will tax everything as much as possible damn it. Do enjoy that additional .46 cent a gallon gas tax come January. You're welcome.

I'll just have to soothe myself with the extra money I keep by having both a high paying job and no income tax in this state.

And better public services than red hellscapes

Live in one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest districts in Washington. Can confirm, public services are a hellscape of little public transport and dodgy Internet from 20 years ago thanks to selling out to Comcast every chance we get.

Private utilities are probably the least dependable version of utilities in my experience.

Private anything sucks because the goal is money. You can’t achieve great things when you’re focused on the wrong outcome.

Someone needs to go be poor in a red state for a year to truly enjoy what a democrat controlled government actually gives them.

Preach it. My parents were military, so I moved all around the states as a kid, and a little bit after out on my own. Blue states are veritable paradises compared to the 3rd-world-country that is red-state USA.

I'm more than happy with that .46 extra a gallon with all the positive benefits living in the area has. And WA actually has some of the gentlist taxes I've seen. We don't even have income taxes in this state.

As much as possible?

Oh sweet summer child, none of our taxes are all that high in this state.
