Issues

Issues are International, National, state, and local.

Lets start with the most annoying: The state of Washington is proud to be the home of the most regressive tax system in the whole United States. We disagree.

They feel strongly that  those with the least money should pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes, and those with the highest income should pay the lowest percentage in taxes.

So, the homeless man on the street pays a much higher percentage of his tiny income than our billionaires.

As we continue this insane cycle, we have a lower and lower state budget, which hurts our schools, our infastructure and our right to run our own government.

Local problems most often come from letting one or two important businesses use the treasury as their own personal checkbook. Did you vote for that new street/stadium/office building? Or did Henry Gotzbucks want it?

National Issues stem, often, from uneducated or miseducated congressmen and others who cannot see that Trickle Down Economics doesn't work, that war is not a sure way to economic prosperity,  and that corporations are not the people. Then there are the congressmen who don't believe in science. They are not helping things by demanding that needed remedies be stopped.
