no you ABSOLUTELY do

Capitalism is too good at convincing low engagement voters they are just lapsed millionaires, even in times of extreme inequality like today.

It very well could, though it would have a ton of money and media against it between Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, owners of local news, and the Seattle Times. Even modest tax increases like the Burien levy failed this year in a city that elected the more progressive candidate in each council seat.

I agree that it sucks, but I don't think the tools are in place for any sort of progressive taxation - every attempt at a state level has failed a constitutional challenge and Dems don't have the numbers or the stomach to alter the constitution and allow for income based taxation.
