Mr. Gates Sr. has personally contributed $500,000 to promote a statewide proposition on Washington's November ballot that would impose a brand new 5% tax on individuals earning over $200,000 per year and couples earning over $400,000 per year. An additional 4% surcharge would be levied on individuals and couples earning more than $500,000 and $1 million, respectivelySure, for now, only the rich would have to pay.
But once you've headed down the slippery slope... Give it time... In Washington State, eventually even Joe Lunchbox will be in for a blood-letting.

In regards to your reply to me here.

"But once you've headed down the slippery slope... Give it time... In Washington State, eventually even Joe Lunchbox will be in for a blood-letting."
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!
