Someone needs to help me understand an issue. As I’m just an uninformed and uneducated Washington resident my entire 70 years and as a casual observer, how is it that the taxpayers of Multnomah County in Oregon were able to vote on and turn down a measure to a proposed capital gains tax but the residents and taxpayers of the state of Washington were denied that right? How is it that our Legislature can do it without our voting on it even though the IRS has stated that an excise tax is an income tax, which we have voted down numerous times?
I’m looking forward to the educated to educate me on this subject.
