The new sales pitch for Washington’s income tax: take billions in new taxes, then hand a fraction back and call it “affordability.”

Olympia’s latest achievement: higher taxes, lower wages, and a weaker economy.

After months of hype, Olympia Democrats may be quietly shelving their income-tax scheme — at least until next year.

Democrats found $2 billion in new spending and billions in new taxes — but couldn’t find the votes to protect kids from fentanyl homes.  

Olympia Democrats just advanced a 9.9% income tax, killed a voter referendum, rejected marriage penalty relief — and called it “economic justice.”

When the guy running the state budget shows up impaired, maybe the chaos isn’t an accident — it’s a management style.

When Democrats say “protecting your rights,” check if they mean expanding government power first.

When Democrats say, “trust us, it’s only for millionaires,” history says… don’t.  

Democrats say it’s just 9.9% for the rich — their own emails say it’s step two.

Even with extra revenue, Democrats still found a way to overspend it. Impressive.

For once, gridlock was a feature — not a bug.

When a century of unanimous court rulings says “unconstitutional,” Olympia hears, “Hold my latte.”
