Lars Larson says ‘Democrats in Olympia work overtime finding new ways to drive sensible people OUT of the state’

The Northwest Nonsense
Marriage means a lot to many of us, especially Christians and conservatives.
It forms the bedrock for children and families and life.
For liberal Democrats, not so much.
For them, apparently, marriage just offers a tool for politics and money.
How else do you explain why Democrats in Olympia just passed a massive new income tax with a gigantic penalty on married couples?
It’s not bad enough that the unnecessary tax supplies cash for a state government addicted to spending beyond OUR means.
Now, state lawmakers from the slavery party have included a penalty for being married.
You see, the new tax applies only to millionaires.
If you make less than a million, you don’t pay.
If two workers each earn $750K paychecks, they’re exempt.
But if they’re married, their household income totals $500K over the limit so they’d pay a $50K marriage penalty
Democrats in Olympia work overtime finding new ways to drive sensible people OUT of the state.
