Welcome to Taxington, er, Washington.
I'm holed up in Seattle for a couple of days. I'm on my way up to Juneau, Alaska for a family reunion. In Montana we don't have any sales tax. If the meal on the menu says $14 then that is what you pay. Not so here in Washington. That $14 meal here carries a tax of about $1.32. Highway robbery!
Three meals a day and I'm paying about $5 a day in tax just to eat. Who invented this scam?
Washington doesn't have an income tax. They raise the money through a stiff sales tax. I can see it as much more equitable though. The lower class doesn't get to escape a tax like this if they buy anything.
I could support a national sales tax in lieu of income tax. Just don't make it 9.4% like Washington.
