I'm for higher taxes on the rich, but I realize that there are consequences to everything which effect the masses of voters. We can't "have it all."
For instance, high taxes on high incomes might make it harder for the Seahawks football team to recruit top players. An income tax might make our state less competitive in that arena, but what do we really value?
I value things like good parks and schools more. I value safe bike paths more than just having a winning team that people just watch on TV.
What are your priorities, winning teams owned by billionaires or good local parks?
