Now, total spending is $34.5 billion--nearly double. I don't recall people dying in the streets for lack of state spending back then.

Forget the income tax--cut spending, cut spending, cut spending.

Get him out and get a real Democrat in there instead.

Are you listening, Federal Way? Find yourselves another Tracy Eide.

Second, why would we have to cut spending on the sick and homeless? What about the art at sewer plants and inaccessible security areas at Seatac? What about the millions in 'paid administrative leave' doled out to molestor cops and rapist teachers? What about the billions in subsidies to pro sports.

We're bleeding out heavily. They need the money, but this is fucking stupid. Income tax.

The only solution is to cut spending.

"primarily oriented to an interest in sex" ... so condoms would likely fit.

I particularly laugh at the following:
"'Adult entertainment materials and services' does not include (a) books or magazines that contain no photographs or other graphics; or (b) motion pictures, videotapes, videodiscs, or cable television services that do not contain any explicit sex of the type that would be rated "X" using the standards existing on January 1, 2009, of the motion picture association of America, inc."

So (a) erotica novels are safe and (b) movies are out because "X" is not an MPAA rating (replaced by "NC-17" in '90).

Who pays for porn, anyways? Will the state monitor the internet sites I visit?

If I have a sex fantasy, would I have to send the state a couple of bucks?

Good sex makes me happy. And if I'm gonna get taxed for that then shouldn't good religious happiness get taxed, too?

But really... I've got a good supply of what I need already, so I'm mainly concerned about those condoms. So #16 do condoms fall into the sex "toy" department? It'll keep an unwanted pregnancy from happening.

You're absolutely right. This nickle and dime approach to sales tax is bullshit and pathetic.

We're long overdue for a progressive income tax.

Not a rhetorical question. How much more of this visionless buck passing are you willing to consider worthy of the Democratic Party?

What do we have to do to get progressive taxation in this god-forsaken state?

It's not like Washington State was a sex-supplies haven or anything. Not even close.
