More taxes from Inslee

More taxes from our governor that was elected by King County. Remember when he ran for governor he stated “no new taxes,” yet that is all he has done. Our budget has exploded from $30 billion to over $40 billion and forecast to be $50 billion soon.

He wants to start at $20 per ton of carbon emissions and adjust for inflation. According to the government, there is no inflation and my Social Security pension checks show that. No increases for years. So we have $1.5 billion taken out of the economy every two years and it will pay for pollution programs that we progressive liberals have a blank check to fund. We are to join California, B.C. and other parts of Canada and Europe. We do not need to be like some European countries. They are a mess.

This is just another progressive liberal program to take your money, create more bureaucracy and raise your taxes anytime they need more money to fund their agenda.

Big government control at its worst. Google “progressive liberal” and you’ll understand why the Democratic Party is defunct.
