>>>a special tax for those wealthy who advocate higher taxes for others.

How about a clawback on those who propose taxes for others. Go back to Gates’ first earnings and apply the new rates.

I’m sure he’d support that. /s/

If they vote for it there really is no recourse.

I live in Seattle but haven't seen a poll on the Tax Initiative for several weeks.

The trend is favorable.

In April, it was 66%(Yes) - 27%(No).

In September, it was 41%(Yes) - 33%(No).

The “NO” ads in Seattle have been extremely effective, working the idea that it is just a question of time before the tax would expand to non-rich residents, which has caused an explosion of undecided voters.

The bad news?

King County (Seattle) voted 70%(Obama) - 28%(McCain) and is trying its best to become America's next California.

In regards to your reply to me here.

Thanks, Professor

You're using ellipses wrong. You either need to put a period at the end of your sentence and capitalize "give" or trail off with your ellipsis and continue your thought with lowercase "give."

You're welcome!
