According to Fox News, Washington state Democrats ‘ e-mails to all of the upper chamber’s members in Olympia allegedly contained their sweeping revenue plans and internal talking points on tax increases. According to documents that were actually distributed to all people by Washington Senate Deputy Floor Leader Noel Frame, D-Seattle, in late December and afterwards obtained by Fox News Digital, property tax increases and a fresh double-digit weapon taxes are two ideas that express Democrats are considering. The information contained a document with the title” 2025 Revenue Selections” and a PowerPoint presentation describing how to speak with constituents to defend the strategy. The document includes suggestions for lifting the property tax levy lid for some Washingtonians, reclassifying storage unit renting as a financial transaction, and imposing an 11 % tax on weapons and handguns. A PowerPoint drop, highlighted by Seattle radio host Jason Rantz, described the” Best way to talk fees” – with a map of do’s and don’ts for politicians. DEMOCRAT ATTORNEYS GENERAL PREPARE FOR LEGAL BATTLES WITH TRUMPDo say:” Give what they owe”– but Don’t state:” Tax the affluent” or “pay their good share” because “taxes aren’t a punishment” the graph read. It also suggested using the terms “funding” “providing” and “ensuring” when describing the apparent benefits of tax hikes, rather than the term “investing in]X ]”. Avoid centering the tax or describing” the economy” or “education” in jargon. One of the new proposals is a” capital assets ownership tax.” It is described as being comparable to real estate taxes but would apply to holdings in stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The slide reads,” We can ensure that extremely wealthy Washingtonians are taxed on their assets the same way middle-class families are already taxed on theirs.” Another phrase urges lawmakers to proverbially “identify the villain” behind “progress” and outline “how we can take action to solve the issue.” Our tax code, which benefits large corporations and the wealthiest few, was written 100 years ago and desperately needs to be updated for the 21st century. If we ensure Washington’s wealthiest pay what they truly owe in taxes, the rest of us will have what we need — like affordable health care, housing, and food” .FLASHBACK: NYPD WARNS ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS THAT A ‘ SEATTLE-STYLE OCCUPATION ZONE ‘WON’T BE TOLERATEDRantz said in a column for MyNorthwest.com that the plans accidentally shared present a “direct contradiction” to promises from Democrats during the election cycle and lay out 10 total new taxes on residents. ” These proposals come at a time when the state has seen years of record revenue”, Rantz said, going on to claim some of the” tax schemes” may also be unconstitutional. He added that capital gains taxes actually deter growth and could lead to fewer job opportunities for the same workers as Democrats claim to support. He gave an example of the departure of Jeffrey Bezos, the founder of Amazon, from Washington State. Upon establishing his new Florida residency, one of America’s richest men saved about$ 1 billion in taxes that also no longer go toward funding the Evergreen State’s programs. The affordable affordability crisis is frequently decried by the Democratic electorate in Washington, according to Ratz, who then elects the same politicians who make it worse.

Jay Inslee’s 2025 budget proposal. ” This budget is not a serious proposal”, said Couture, the House budget panel’s top Republican. ” Our state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem”, he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Frame for comment, but it was unable to return it by deadline.
