There are attempts at it at least once every decade, and every time they get squashed in the very end, even if they are passing the vote and get pretty much to the finish line. Any form of taxing it is against state constitution, and the state struck down any previous attempts at loopholes around that provision of the constitution.
I agree with the sibling comment that this is not something to realistically worry about at all.
- lotsofpulp 2y ago> Any form of taxing it is against state constitution The WA state constitution says non uniform property taxes are not allowed, and 1930 WA Supreme Court ruled income was property. A flat income tax would have been allowed, until last year when income tax was outlawed, but not with enough votes to amend the state constitution.
