Meeting Washington's Needs
Support increased revenues to meet the funding needs of Washington education K - higher ed. Specifically, support the creation of a capital gains tax targeted to high income individuals.
Why is this important?
Tough choices are facing Washington's legislators as more money is needed for education while social services (and other) programs have been seriously cut during the recent recession years. The choice is whether to cut these programs further, or raise additional revenue to meet very pressing needs. The choice should be for more revenue.
