Another Amazon, Costco, Starbucks, AT&T Cell or Boeing? - Not in Washington
Washington politicians inherited an incubator for successful business start ups. And they are determined to destroy it. What??
WA has no income tax -- one of only six states -- and a good workforce. Entrepreneurs want these conditions, so they come here and succeed - not all, but more than elsewhere - and a few grow up here and return here, like Bill Gates.
Washington politicians want an income tax and want it so badly that they ignore the fact the our constitution does not allow a graduated tax on property and income is property. Oh! They say this is an excise tax, not income tax. But the IRA says it is. And all 49 other states says it is.
Our leaders are determined, but the "State Supreme Court will rule against it next month." Not likely, sadly. They always rule in favor of the Seattle big money.
Goodbye entrepreneurs; Tennessee is ready for you.
