When taxes are presented to voters in clear, unambiguous propositions, the voters do the right thing. First Alabama, now Washington. No one wants to take a pay cut 'for the children.'

It is interesting to see where exactly they finally drew the line in the sand and said NO.
To: wallcrawlr
Shocking Simply Shocking. Who ever even suggested this TAX should be lead to a tall tree with a rope and hung Texas style for even bring it up!
I wonder when the State Legislature will try to RAM it through against the wishes of the voters. Just wait BOHICA
