For decades, Washington attracted more people and more income than it lost. But that trend has now reversed. For the second year in a row, more income has left the state than arrived. And for the third year in a row, IRS data shows Washington is losing more taxpayers to migration than it gains.

EXPOSED: The far-left majority and Gov. Bob Ferguson passed an unconstitutional Income Tax into law (SB 6346) and emails from public records requests confirm it was never just about “taxing millionaires.”![]()
![]()
According to The Center Square, the WA Democrat Leaders directly worked with WA AG Nick Brown (D) to “force the Washington Supreme Court to reconsider” the landmark Culliton decision that protects families and individuals from state income taxes. In SB 6346, they crafted a 9.9% hit on income over $1 million as a test case to open the door to taxing EVERYONE, just with a simple majority vote.![]()
![]()
Despite promised fiscal restraint, Gov. Bob Ferguson signed the Income Tax into law anyway. Multiple Amendments on SB 6346, to ensure this tax was only for millionaires, were voted down by the far left majority. Their plan is crystal clear: Lower the $1 million threshold later and establish an Income Tax on everyone.![]()
![]()
WA voters have rejected an income tax many times. Initiative 2111, signed by 450,000+ people, further cemented a prohibition on state income taxes in 2024.![]()
![]()
The far left majority ignored the people who voted against the tax repeatedly, ignored the overwhelming public opposition to it (including at least 100,000+ people signing-in CON against the tax (a state record)), ignored economists & business groups, and the ignored the law. This is straight up government greed, not “affordability."![]()

Washington State has a massive spending problem. BILLIONS are being lost to fraud, waste, and abuse, while the far left majority is trying to tax you and your family even further. ![]()

It's well past time for state government to stop treating WA families and individuals as tax farms. We need policies that lower, not increase, the high cost of living in our state.
