Issue Position: Paying for Our Common Needs

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Taxes

Taxes and fees are how we pay for our shared needs. Washington currently has the most regressive tax system in the US, with the proportion of taxes per person higher the less an individual earns. We need to address our regressive tax system by shifting taxes more toward those who can afford to pay the most to make our taxes more fair. We should also move to tax those things that we want less of, like carbon pollution.
