State's wealthy want to claw back taxes they owe
Here in Washington, most of us believe in working hard, taking care of each other and our families, and leaving things better for those to come.
But as our work and innovation have made our state stronger and more prosperous, a small number of wealthy people have rigged the rules to redirect resources from our communities to their country clubs, from our classrooms to their boardrooms, and from our public parks to their private jets.
Brian Heywood is a MAGA millionaire who is bankrolling (to the tune of $6 million) six initiatives through his PAC, Let’s Go Washington. The initiatives would break down the supports we’ve built for our communities and do real harm to thousands of people across the state.
Two of the Let’s Go Washington measures relate to our tax code. As the leader of an organization that has been working to fix our upside-down tax system, advocate for fairer ways to fund the services we all rely on, and ensure that the wealthiest among us pay what they truly owe in taxes, I’m not just disappointed by these efforts, I’m outraged.
