You write of a lack of income tax as if that is part of the problem, it's not. Look at states, specifically California, that have income tax, sales tax and property tax authority are they doing a better job than Washington?
In 2010, as a Washington citizen, I voted against an income tax because state government was not being responsible with the revenue they had. Why give them more "free" money to waste. If they were responsible with the revenue to begin with and came up short it's possible to consider another revenue stream. Personally, the best government is the least government necessary.
Don't mis-understand what I'm saying. I was trying to state, that is the perspective of democrats. I understand how that comes across now re-reading that section. I'll make a change there. I am with you on that. Small Government is best.
