[It is clear from your position...]

For the LAST TIME, please STOP with creating a straw man argument https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman from what I posted above that you can then attack.

[I have less emphathy...]

In fact, your argument above was: "...the state should institute an income tax (weighted on the upper end earners) that pays entirely for the education system in Washington."

That sounds to me like a complete lack of empathy. So, on that, we can likely agree.
