Friends –
Last week, we exposed some eyebrow-raising policies adopted by Washington Democrats in their latest party platform. Jay Inslee’s state party platform included some repeated mistakes and therefore expected policy positions – such as a state income tax that the Democrats are again demanding.
And the party’s guiding document included some Bernie Sanders-inspired policies. Like the Democrats’ national party manifesto, the Washington Democrats’ platform included calls for a $15 minimum wage and a carbon tax. But, the state party platform took the socialist-esque agenda to a new level by including a call for socialized medicine (i.e., a so-called single-payer healthcare system).
Washington Democrats gave us a glimpse of where they want to take our state – should they have full control to do so. Undoubtedly, where Democrats want to take us isn’t anywhere the average, rational citizen wants to go.
The Democrats’ agenda is extreme – it’s harmful to the economic wellbeing of our state and the future for working families.
That’s why we are working hard to shine a light on Jay Inslee and the Democrats’ extreme plans for our state. You can count on us.
