It'll be interesting to see the court cases play out for this, and what the long-term effects will be -- both in switching WA to a more progressive tax scheme, and in the effects of a city implementing a tax like this (assuming Seattle prevails in court).
Seattle (and more broadly WA) taxes are all kinds of strange.
As someone said: isn't weird we have the two wealthiest people in the world here, but can't afford schools?
- Thorncorona 9y agoThe Seattle area definitely does - they have #28, #41, and #80 out of the best 100 high schools.
- nogbit 9y agoBecause those wealthy people ran companies that never paid a dime in Washington States B&O tax while every other business without big lawyers must do so. If WA wants to fund the things they want they simply need to treat all business fairly. https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+does+not+pay+b%26O&oq=microsoft+does+not+pay+b%26O https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+does+not+pay+b%26O...
