75% of Washington State Voters REJECT Proposal to Repeal Tax on Millionaires!
A staggering 75% of voters in Washington state rejected a proposal to repeal a 9.9% tax on individual and household wage income above $1 million per year. This move is a clear indication of the growing "tax the rich" sentiment across the US, with voters in at least 10 states weighing in on tax ballot initiatives. Despite the likely failure of California's high-profile plan for a wealth tax, other measures have been successful in limiting taxes on Americans of modest means. In Colorado, a measure to raise taxes on incomes above $500,000 is on track to pass, while in North Carolina, a permanent cap on state income taxes at 3.5% has been approved. These results demonstrate a shift in public opinion towards tax fairness, with proponents of taxing the rich counting plenty of wins. The Tax Foundation has summarized the results, stating that voters' affordability worries are indeed running through the tax code. As the midterm elections come to a close, one thing is clear: the US is undergoing a significant shift in its tax policies.
