It’s not a fact just because you say it is. Most sales taxes exempt necessary household goods and food. You could also impose high sales taxes on luxury goods that only rich folks buy like yachts planes and caviar. It is very possible to not make sales type taxes regressive. I’d support super high tax on luxury goods before I’d even support an income tax for Washington. Earned Income taxes crush the middle class that’s all they are for.

Great regurgitated talking point, thanks ! Seriously do you WANT to have to file state taxes every year? In reality if state income taxes happen you will get both taxes just like California. Income tax is not necessarily more progressive that’s just a lie they tell you to agree to more taxes. Regardless, Thank god it’s against the state constitution to impose one so even if morons want to enact one they can’t !
