Then, hope everyone here listens to what Shadrach White, WA small business man has to say! I'd vote for the guy if he were running....Heard this on the radio this morning, so am posting it here....He said he's never done anything like this before...but decided he HAD to speak! The Senator at the end typifies the problem we all face!! Here's another from Shadrach White, an Olympia business executive. Watch to the end, when a scattering of applause for his statement is gaveled down by Senator Prentice. libertylive.org A citizen's view on the income tax proposal Posted by Jonathan Bechtle - March 05, 2010 I didn't get a chance to catch the entire sham hearing last night on SB 6250, the bill to create an income tax, but I catch a few of the testimonies that I think are worth re-watching. Here's one from Jennifer Sargent. She heard about the hearing as she was driving home from work, but decided to come by and talk about why she, as a regular citizen, was opposed to the bill. It's well worth watching. Here's another from Shadrach White, an Olympia business executive. Watch to the end, when a scattering of applause for his statement is gaveled down by Senator Prentice. [Video at link above] And here's EFF's Amber Gunn, decrying the complete lack of transparency in the hearing...like not providing the text of the amendment to citizens before the hearing started.
