The Seattle Times editorial board is using misinformation to advocate against statewide legislation that would tax the rich and big corporations. Here is a great short by @ronpdavis.bsky.social providing truth, context, and also highlights the need to pass HB 2100 in WA.

Families making $35k in WA pay over 13% of their income in taxes, while the richest ($900k+) pay only 4% 😡
The #WALeg Millionaires Tax is our moment to rebalance WA's upside-down tax code and fund the programs that help working people build a brighter future for their families.

Blue = wealthy, exclusive, white neighborhoods
Red = neighborhoods @ high risk of being priced-out
Guess where all the new downzones are?
