Gregoire and the Democrats in our legislature standing up for something the majority of Washingtonians want? better check with Tim Eyman and make sure it's ok with his backers first.
A) Higher taxes on business, thus bad.
B) Government fat cutting and belt tightening, thus good.
C) More government waste (money spent on Basic Health), thus bad.
I'm sure the question was worded something like. "don't you agree that evil banks should have no tax breaks in order to pay for those noble souls who need basic health", with a follow up statement "because the cost in human suffering is morally wrong?"
The lefties just don't get it. The majority (not just the majority of leftists in Seattle) want state gov't to tighten its belt. These ruses by legislators are just another way to prey upon the public's ignorance of what the SEIU and the state employees unions really want is higher taxes, more spending and no accountability. Neither of these bloated groups cares about improving K-12 or higher ed or even about better health--it is about taking more money and power for themselves. Too bad ignorant leftists in Seattle don't get that.
Well, one might cynically ponder the wording of the question... if I hadn't provided the actual wording in my post. Do you even bother reading posts before commenting?

Could go either way...
You are correct. 61% was the support amongst Independents. Fixed it.
Then throw it to the curb.
Of course - Republicans don't mind taxes on someone else... after all, the Red States depend on that!

Got to use those private jets somehow ...
Can't ride along with the unwashed masses - no, need a $10 round trip toll so only the rich can afford it.
Then you can ask the next limo if they have any Grey Poupon or endives, while sipping your martini.
Those Canucks have a growing GDP and budget surplus, after all.
I sure hope you aren't holding your breath in anticipation, Goldy.
Max Solomon pegged it @1 -- what does Governor Eyman think?
