I agree.

Washington is just one of many states with an out of control tax system. My wife and I live in Idaho. She works in Washington, which has no state income tax. Idaho does, so of course we pay Idaho state tax. However, many people who love in Washington work in Idaho. And yes, they, too pay Idaho state income tax.

Now, it seesm to me it ought to be one or the other-you pay tax to the state you live in, but not work in, or vice versa.

As an aside, I was amused to discover that the Boston Tea Party was held because the tariffs went up to a whopping 5%! That would be a steal these days...

I think my brother had the same problem in PA when he was residing in Deleware. It's more income for the state from those who use none of the state's services
