Thank you Paul Allen!!
YEP....and Bill Gates Daddy also fought FOR the Estate Tax Washington now has......what a guy.....glad to see Allen doing something!
Not too sure what all is going on in WA from down here but there can’t be that many high earners left in WA. Most of them are gone, well ‘cept for those King Cnty. lawyers ....
Another leftwing billionaire along with Bill Gates, Peter Lewis, George Soros, Warren Buffett etc etc
Trying to decipher the above sentence makes my head explode, but I think it sounds like Paul Allen disapproves of the scumbag Democrats and their class warfare.
In which case, GOOD for Paul Allen!
There has certainly been more awareness lately as far as TV ads go. A couple new anti-1098 ads have started airing that PLAINLY AND DISTINCTLY say that 1098 IS AN INCOME TAX!
Gates Sr.’s commercials HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD to AVOID using the words “INCOME TAX”!
I think it has serious constitutional problems. First, there is explicitly, in the Washington State Constitution, an article guaranteeing individual privacy. Secondly, the Constitution says that “the power to tax shall never be surrendered”, or words to that effect. If the power can’t be surrendered to levy a tax, then it’s kinda underhanded to think they could go to an initiative to get it passed. Especially since Gates Gzr. ADMITTED on an interview that they went to an initiative because they knew if they tried to pass it in Olympia it would be “the kiss of death” to anyone involved.
We’ll see, I guess. But no matter what, it IS playing the class warfare card. It IS more socialism for a state that already has it’s fill of socialism. And if Gates was so damn concerned, why doesn’t he just donate all the money he’s spending on commercials to buy books or whatever?
That would balance the budget right there!!
