Morning Honcos!

As unemployment rates climb, the WA State budget sinks from a $6B hole to a $8B hole, the geniuses of Olympia have the solution.

AN INCOME TAX!

I pay a 9% Sales tax.
My property taxes are going up 12%.
They are raising the all ready exorbitant Business & Occupation tax, which business just pass on as a hidden sales tax.
In addition to all the misc. user fees, license fees and other hidden little taxes.

It’s a great morning to be an American, I’ll be a slave to the Federal Gov’t until April 23, and of the State of WA until May, 20th. With Porkzilla I’ll probably be a slave until July next year.

It’s a wonderful morning!

Sounds depressing - but spare a thought for us in Gord’s NuLabLand.
We’re slaves to the government until late June, and have been for years …
