It is about time this Gov. go away we need to remove her.


If you think this bill only effects the rich think again. The State has tried to give us a state income tax 6 times


since 1889. If you let them get there foot in the door we will have both a state sales tax and state income tax


and be the highest tax state in the country. Lets stop this.

PS. if we get this I am moving away from this state and Texas will be my home state.

 i have a saying i tell people when it comes to voting...if the politicians say it`s something they need, vote against it!


if they come out and tell us it`s not good for the state/country, vote for it! don`t forget...they made the rules, they can change them! whenever they over spend, due to their 'grade school' type power struggle, we, the people, pay for their mistakes!


this lady senator, from tacoma, that`s sponsoring this bill, does it every session! been doing it for yrs...i actually think lisa brown from spokane is the one behind the scenes, pushing it, and the lady senator from tacoma, is just doing what she is told!...c

HIWATT - This is probably one of the best posts I've seen in this forum.  Cheers and thanks for setting it straight in a very knowledgeable and cordial manner.  SScott


SScott - your post below just sums up completely how well the Democrats marketing works on voters in our state. They want you to believe that all R's are like George Bush/Dick Cheney and obviously it works.  They sell you on their warm & fuzzy mantra that they are the good guys, saving the planet, taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor and that labor unions are really working on behalf of workers. It makes it real easy for people like you to turn around and feel like you're on the "good" team (D's) and call the "other side" (R's) mean names.  Please remember that "your" team has had the control and has spent us into this budget mess.


SScott - your post here is just full of anger, chest-pumping and ignorant name-calling.  For a party that is supposed to be so compassionate, you sure are full of hate.


SScott's post - "Mr Dim Bulb,



Your comment is not only erroneous but is patently offensive.  Labor unions built the middle class, which conservatives have managed to almost eliminate.  California immigrants are by far the minor factor in population growth in Washington.  No one is more elitist than a Republican.  If you don't like it here, move to Montana.  or Florida, original home of the redneck.  Or the Tri-Cities, home of the knee-jerk cronies of Timmy Eyman, that loser Dino Rossi and  the crooked BAW.
