It’s welfare disguised so they don’t have to call it welfare

So if you are below the poverty level of income and pay no taxes, we send you tax credit!
So basically as with the federal eitc… welfare in disguise.
And as far as having paid taxes in sales tax… if someone is making this little income, very unlikely they are paying as much in sales taxes in a year as this credit provides

I’m curious where it goes too… I think people think a place like Tulsa there is no “muscle” / competition in town because of limited to no Italian organized crime. But, I’m pretty sure it exists in a different form… which I bet Dwight discovers soon enough,
Put it like this, there is no mob in the Duttons corner of Montana.. but as we have seen, there are quite a few “hard” people out there that don’t take kindly to strangers muscling into their territory.

While driving through SJ valley is feasible to go well over the speed limit… my advice, when you cross the border into Oregon on I5 it’s probably a good idea to slow down to 5-10 miles over limit at the most.
I5 through Oregon in my overtime has always been known for having many many speed traps.

No exciting referendums or initiatives on the ballot, no Governor or presidential races, and a state where many people have gotten used to the idea it doesn’t matter if they vote, democrats like Murray get auto vote back into office every time.
All of this plus those that don’t vote automatically for (d)s really really really motivated… could be the makings of some pretty big upsets out there. Would not be surprised if come Wednesday morning there are a ton of shocked faces in western Washington.
Being aa realist though, it probably won’t happen, at least in Murray’s case, but as far as Washington politics goes, really one word comes to mind… complacency.

TBF Murray went negative with her ads far earlier and has hammered us with them more than Smiley… she has spent far more than Smileys campaign doing this

People have not and will not be willing to switch to an income tax unless they put ironclad language in the bill that it’s revenue neutral and that the sales tax would be permanently reduced or replaced entirely.
