6/2: Tax the Rich! Support Initiative I-1098


ARE THE BUDGET CUTS INEVITABLE?
Currently, the top fifth of our state’s population pays 3% of their income in taxes while the bottom fifth pays 17% making Washington’s the most regressive tax structure in the nation. The newly introduced Initiative 1098 would partially level the playing field by taxing couples with adjusted gross incomes greater than $400,000 annually, or incomes of more than $200,000 for individuals. It also would cut the state property tax by 20 percent and increase the business-and-occupation tax credit to $4,800. It is estimated this initiative would bring in about $1 billion per year for education and health programs.
