[lbo-talk] voters, man

[Gar Lipow]

Actually the soda tax/candy tax/bottled water tax was rejected as well
as the income tax.
So consistently "anti-tax, anti-debt, but if you bastards cut the
services I approve of its cause you don't know how to live within your
means". Yeah, a lot of paranoia that once we have an income tax it
will apply to everyone because in two years the leg might extend it
downward. Of course if the income tax is constitutional under the WA
state constitution (something we won't get the chance to find out in
the near future) then the State ledge could pass one right now if they
wanted. Well, Patty Murray was probably saved to follow through on her
proclaimed intent to vote for the catfood commission recs in the lame
duck session. Cantwell intends that too. So yay for the Democrats
saving social security! Though maybe we will be lucky and right will
kill it because if symbolic cuts in the military budget and symbolic
increases in taxes on the rich.
