Actually, I don't believe you're correct. The lack of state income taxes are off-set by many other taxes which are higher than other states. And I believe Washington State ranks in the top ten of total taxes overall in the nation.

The recent reduction in motor vehicle license fees was a step in the right direction. And one which liberal politicians like our Governor fought tooth and nail. Claiming the sky was going to fall if we reduced license fees from hundreds of dollars a year, to thirty dollars was not only disingenuous, but was an outright lie.

What I find particularly interesting about this exchange, is you seem to be extolling positive benefits behind lower taxes, or the elimination of taxes such as the state income tax.

Have you now changed your mind and support the conservative agenda regarding lower taxes being needed to stimulate growth, create jobs and a better quality of life for everyone? Or, do you just believe taxes should be low for *me* personally, but high for everyone else?
