Lars Larson discusses the Democrats’ playbook – Jam through a huge tax to feed the insatiable appetite of the government
Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense
Well, citizens in the Northwest just got another big fat middle finger from another Democrat .
Washington’s Secretary of State Steve Hobbs just refused to let the public vote on the illegal and unconstitutional income tax just passed by lawmakers.
Get this, Hobbs claims that voters are forbidden to have any say on billions in new taxes if state lawmakers simply declare it “necessary.”
Reminder, Washington’s state budget spending has increased 116-percent in the last 10 years.
Show of hands folks … how many of you have paychecks that more than doubled in the last decade? That’s precisely what I thought.
Oregon Democrats follow the same play book. Jam through a huge tax to feed the insatiable appetite of the government, mostly for salaries of workers whose unions feed the campaign war chests of Democrats.
If that sounds like a giant cash laundromat, that’s exactly what it is.
Then, once the tax is passed, do everything possible to deny citizens the right to vote on any of it.
And then for the cherry on top, invite Democrat politicians in both states, to stand up and loudly proclaim you’re defending democracy by denying democracy.
