Yeah I definitely want to leave Washington state if they continue down this road.<p>For a time the state was socially liberal but still pretty business and tax friendly but there are too many greedy people who want to get their hands on that wealth entrepreneurs are creating.<p>And to build schools!? I already private tuition and our school could stand for some improvements, and our teachers deserve a bump in salary, but no we’re going to go tear down some perfectly usable elementary school to make a new more environmentally friendly one.<p>The money from this tax will only fatten the pockets of the bureaucrats, and will do little to nothing for the average person.<p>Washington in a nutshell.

Worth mentioning that Washington has the most regressive state and local taxes in the country:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itep.org&#x2F;whopays-map&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itep.org&#x2F;whopays-map&#x2F;</a><p>I’m curious where Washington will end up on the list if this goes into&#x2F;stays in effect.

Curious how real estate was left out of this.
