LETTER: Tax refund

Published 1:30 am Sunday, March 6, 2022

Hey, Washington Democrats, take a breath.

The state gets a pandemic revenue windfall of several billion, and you’re spending all of it?

How about a sales tax cut?

We have the most regressive tax system among all states.

With inflation increasing the cost of basic goods, the burden on low- and middle-income residents is increasing.

Cut us a break.

Toss $1 billion, or even $2 billion, back to taxpayers.

Spending all $7 billion will increase the two-year state budget by 25 percent.

That’s not sustainable.

Cut taxes so we can take a breath.
