Isn't that special?

It's easy to be generous with other people's money.

The US Tech industry is heavily concentrated in about 2 dozen cities with heavily educated workforces. The tech industries are powering some pretty powerful income inequality to a point where you've started to see social issues cropping up. Seattle and SF have that problem worse than most.

Must city governments do just fine taxing real estate, possibly sales, and various kinds of registration.

The thing i absolutely detest is when there are a whole boatload of things that get taxed - I'd rather we have only an income tax AND NOTHING ELSE or only a sales tax AND NOTHING ELSE. That gives you transparency in taxation - they can't tinker with 20 different numbers and hide that they're raising your taxes.

Dude, the state of WA has lots of tax, high sales tax and property tax, thus why they do not have an income tax in WA state. Of course that is not enough money as it is super easy to spend other people's money..... of course this whole crap show will collapse as the number of givers continues to decrease and the takers continue to increase. No local, state or fed entity can tax enough for them to say they have enough of our money.....you do see that don't you?

Is this why you support Trump and Congressional Republican attempts to add at least 1.5 Trillion to the deficit?

OK. Was it wrong then and right now? What’s your point?

As for me, you should have paid more attention then.

but are you no better than "you did it, so I am too?" Do you have any principals, or just shills for the party and Trump? Are you no better than those you denigrate?

Seattle’s income tax on the wealthy is illegal, judge rules

The city had argued that its tax would apply to “total income” instead of net. The city also described it as an excise tax, imposed on those who live in Seattle in the same way excise taxes are imposed on companies that do business in the city.

The judge disagreed.

“ … the City’s tax, which is labeled ‘Income Tax,’ is exactly that,” he wrote. “It cannot be restyled as an ‘excise tax’ on the … ‘privileges’ of receiving revenue in Seattle or choosing to live in Seattle.”
