Reply to comment by Unique_Engineering_3 in Washington Supreme Court upholds new capital gains tax by Bozzooo

If WA capital gains tax stands, lawmakers will be after more than the wealthy next

> In fact, a bill has already been proposed this year (SB 5335) that would not only increase the capital gains income tax rate but repeal the value exemption, applying the tax to all Washingtonians with capital gains income.

.

> that disproportionately affects lower income earners as a percentage of their income is way overdue.

This doesn't change the taxes that the lower income earners are paying. They will still be paying the same taxes. If you were really concerned about the taxes that they are paying you would be working to reduce their taxes. You're not.

Your link is behind a paywall.

Besides, Op-Eds are opinions and people can say whatever they want no matter how close to or far from reality it is.

As for 5335… that bill has been parroted by four different folks all making almost identical points.

5335 has NOTHING to do with this tax, it’s about a health care bill and income based eligibility criteria.

Bots? All getting the same op-ed conservative radio talk show? Way too much to be just a coincidence, whatever it is.

What a sad straw man and ad hominem hybrid your tried there. It’s cute that you thought you were being clever though. What a “gotcha.” 🤣

The state is increasing the disproportional tax on low income people. Your fix... tax the wealthy. Brilliant, you fix nothing. State increases tax more on low income people... now what? Raise taxes more. It endless insanity.

More sad ad hominems and straw man arguments?

You posted your projections and wild numbers.

It’s been interesting to see what you seem to think is a well reasoned position though, u/barefootoxark. 🤣
