Untruth in labeling

Sat., July 8, 2017

If Washington state is so much more liberal than Idaho, then why does Idaho have a state income tax and Washington doesn’t?

Republicans favor higher sales taxes and higher property taxes (like Washington), while Democrats favor income taxes (which Idaho has). And the dollar difference of filing married versus single in Idaho is a pittance.

What mislabeled misleaders we have.
