It may be an"over-used" phrase, but tax and spend is the only thing Democrats know. WA State government spending has increased 50% in the last 10 years, from $53B to $80B. In the same time period WA State GDP and inflation only rose 22% and WA State median household income declined 4%. In other words they are spending and taxing over two times more than our ability to pay. At the same time they increase spending, they claim poverty and propose an income tax, carbon tax, capital gains tax and internet tax. It's time for someone different in our legislature.
