We really need to get a groundswell on implementing a proper income tax in this state, ..and dropping the sales tax to 0% (except on purchases over $50,000). Oh, and something like 0% income tax if you are at or below the official "poverty line". And probably even somewhat above that line too.

Without major changes to Washington laws, all government services and infrastructure can only be paid for by:

1) Sales tax
2) Property tax
3) Use tax on a specific item (e.g. cigarettes, coffee, or carbon)
4) Car tabs and other registration fees
5) Business and occupation taxes
5) Levies, which are paid back using the sources above

There really isn't a good, non-regressive answer to how to fund good government programs.
