Travis Couture@TravisSCoutureSome of the crazy policies Democrats have in store for next January in Olympia:   - a statewide payroll tax on jobs, modeled after Seattle’s disastrous jump start head tax  - a new tax on unrealized capital gains, which is money you’ve invested for things like retirement but have not collected  - tripling property taxes and increasing it annually by inflation and population  - reduce the threshold of the new state income tax below $1M to apply to the middle class if not defeated in November   - a new “margins tax” scheme (analysis tbd)   - more reckless spending and more deficits where democrats cut from the vulnerable in programs that work, to give even more to their special interests in programs that do nothing but make everything worse.   - effectively eliminating juvenile detention for juvenile gang offenders like the Bite of Seattle shooter  - using state government to sell and distribute hard drugs like fentanyl  - eliminating penalties for sex offenders who pray on children  - close down prisons and early release violent criminals into communities  - reduce law enforcement, eliminate bail, and destroy our criminal justice system by making it impossible to obtain a public defense, effectively releasing criminals before they ever see a court room   - redistricting Republican lawmakers out of existence to create a permanent and generational democratic super majority (the most dangerous)   You might have read this list and had a gut reaction that this is rhetorical politics. But every one of the things I just listed are actual legislation that democrats have introduced in Olympia recently or policy recommendations passed to them by their allies. They’ve already promised these. All are just a few things Republicans were able to defeat along with the few moderate Democrats left in Olympia.   If Democrats in Olympia are emboldened by results in November, and the moderate Democrats replaced by socialist Democrats, this is just a taste of what we are in for.   I don’t know about you, but that list is absolutely a devastating failure that will take reasonable people a generation to come back from.   60% of WA voters who did not vote in the last election were Republicans and Independents.  That means we have an opportunity to save ourselves before it’s too late, push back together against socialism and communism, and demand reason and common sense once again.   If the list I provided isn’t motivation to vote, nothing is.
