WA Democrats push abusive new tax on jobs they say earn too much
The so-called “excess compensation tax” comes from SB 5767, sponsored by State Senators Christine Rolfes and Emily Randall. It would pose a 7.5% “excise tax” on hospital administrator jobs that Democrats deem overpaid. The bill defines “excess compensation” as one that exceeds 10 times the average annual wage of workers statewide, as published by the Employment Security Department. The tax revenue would be used to “advance health equity” and fund abortion.
Isn’t there something, somewhere about “equal protection” that precludes taxes going after specific people? Ah, well, it’s nice to know that politicians will target certain demographics for additional financial burdens. It’ll make the forcoming wealth redistributions *so* much easier to manage.

We now need an official ruling about how to combine “Washington” and “exit.”
Wexit?
Waxit?
Washit?
Kinda liking the last one, but probably NSFW.
A lot of folks in the Eastern Part of the state and some on the peninsula Have been trying for years. Likewise in Oregon they keep trying to join Idaho. Idaho plays along to tweak Oregon.
As far as the tax goes, WA supreme court is elected and will agree with the State AG (sideshow B0b) 90% of the time.
