Washington is on its way to introducing a personal income tax for the first time ever. Fortunately it shouldn't impact me - it's being called the "millionaire's tax"because it proposes a 10% income tax on households earning over a million dollars a year. Which I don't have a problem with - but I think a lot of people do (unsurprisingly, mostly Republicans). I don't mind as long as it's not a gateway to imposing income tax on everyone in the state - one of the key benefits of living here. It's one of the few states that doesn't have income tax - but makes up for that by having one of the highest sales tax rates in the country (10.6% where I live). With the taxes and the Iran War, we now also have one of the highest prices of gas (petrol) in the country as well. All this tax talk reminds me that I haven't done my tax returns for this year yet. Which is always a "fun" way to spend a weekend, and something I need to do before the end of the month.
