In our state, middle-income families pay up to four times as high a share of their income as the wealthiest families, and low-income families pay as high as six times as much in taxes.

Nationally, gaps between tax rates as a percent of income exist across the board. On average: the bottom 20 percent of income earners pay 11.1 percent in taxes, the middle 20 percent pay 9.4 percent, and the top one percent pay 5.6 percent. If averages are taken here in Washington state, not only is there a wider gap between what income groups pay, but additionally, the numbers themselves are worse locally for low-income people and better locally for rich people. The bottom 20 percent pays 17 percent; the middle 20 percent pays 10 percent; the top one percent pays a mere 2.8 percent in taxes.

There are many above ground opportunities which would solve many concerns and serve all.

It is wrong to attack the messenger('s), however, Dan Bertolet is wrong and assumes too much for too many.

There are many above ground freeways that are both beautiful and economically responsible.

The Tunnel serves few, does not serves the geographic neighborhoods, or industries that a rebuild would. The tunnel is simply, dishonest. If you believe otherwise, I've got an "extended monorail to sell you."
