New York City has had an income tax for years.

Kansas City has a 1% earnings tax. Glad I'm outside that area.

It is a tax paid on earned wages and business profits but not on Social Security or pensions. The average annual earnings tax paid in Kansas City is about $340, and the average business profits tax paid is about $2,050.

Nearly 50 percent of the tax is paid by people who don’t live in Kansas City but work within the city limits; about 20 percent comes from Kansas residents and 30 percent from residents of the Missouri-side suburbs. Those taxpayers do not get a vote, because taxes are generally decided on by residents of the city that imposes them.

They'd probably like to have their own foreign policy, too.

Wherever you find liberals, you find income taxes:

I left Washington state six years ago. They have no income tax at all. It would take a vote of the people to enact such a thing and it always loses. Meanwhile, I now work in Louisville, KY. and, yes, there is a city income tax. Actually, it is the county that the city engulfs, but there are cities here with income taxes. This is an income tax state.

Washington is not.

Heck, there are plenty of cities with an income tax. Kansas City has had an “e-tax” for over twenty years. I think it is currently 1% of gross for those working in the city limits.
