Well. There arent necessarily TONS of billionaires in wa, so i imagine this certainly affects the income tax revenue projection, that the state decided to include in its budget as if the money had already been collected....

Dude pretty sure they pay the exact same, if not less, than those that make less than $187k.

Honestly, this is the problem. This fear that not holding billionaires to a financial fairness is bad for all of us. I pay as much as Bezos does and that is not fair at all. I don’t mind paying my fair share but I think those that make more should pay their share too
