Washington is a one-party State where not even Democrats trust the Democrats on tax issues.
Many Democrats object to it in principle because the new income tax is unconstitutional on its face; they support an income tax but ignoring the constitution because it is inconvenient and blocking people from voting on it is gross. The supreme court in Washington won't be any help, they are have an unfortunate track record of rubberstamping whatever the party wants.
This is in addition to many years of tax increases exceeding growth, the regular introduction of new poorly designed taxes that are simultaneously wasted and expanded with no accountability.
Many Democrats fully expect a rugpull is coming because that is the recent history in Washington. Regressive taxes are never lowered or removed, they just stack new ones on top of them.
