No New Taxes 2015
To: Our fellow taxpayers:
December 22, 2014
Jay Inslee is pushing for $10 billion in higher taxes for the general fund (he’s calling it a capital gains tax but it’s really an obnoxious state income tax) and $10 billion in higher transportation taxes (he’s calling it a carbon tax but it’ll end up being a tax on everyone). He’s also pushing to give a green light to Sound Transit to jack up property taxes, sales taxes, and car tab taxes to pay for their multi-billion dollar choo choo trains and other boondoggles.
Do you trust the politicians in Olympia to only raise taxes as a last resort? We don't.
State and local governments are scrambling for more money because their spending plans are radically bigger than their cash flow. And so they're licking their chops at the chance to force taxpayers to bail them out for their reckless spending binge. Our past initiatives have put up substantial roadblocks to their plans. But they're not enough.
Our top priority in 2015 is beating back tax increases (which explains the name change to our political action committee: Voters Want More Choices "No New Taxes 2015"). That means fighting against the laundry list of bills that will be pushed in Olympia to unilaterally increase taxes during this year’s legislative session. In addition, we need to work overtime to beat back politicians’ already announced plans to dismantle the people’s initiative process. All their anti-initiative bills must be stopped.
As for initiatives in 2015, on January 5th, we filed several different initiatives (2/3-For-Taxes Constitutional Amendment, Bring Back Our $30 Car Tabs, Stop Red-Light Ticketing Cameras, No More Tolls, etc.). Which one(s) we'll do this year will be announced later. Stay tuned.

With your help, there's no team, no group, no organization that is more effective than we are at protecting taxpayers. We ask for your support so we can continue fighting. Thank you.

P.S. There are thousands of politicians, bureaucrats, lobbyists, and special interest groups working each and every day to raise your taxes. Shouldn't there be at least one person, one team, one organization that fights to lower your taxes? Please help us so we can continue our successful efforts on behalf of taxpayers.
