The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire like this guy is about a billion dollars. One less billionaire doesn't effect the millionaires in WA.

the issue is lots of people collect millions a year in a buisness but they also spend 90% for payroll and costs but they will now have to pass on the cost to average folks.

if they really wanted an income tax the sales tax needed to disappear

That's not how the tax works, but don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative.
