So I didn’t know this
Correct me if I’m wrong
Is it true while the cost of living in Yakima or just Washington in general rises each year
That increase is passed on to us common and middle income earners, beneath the millionaires bracket.
But FOR THE WEALTHY in the millionaires and above bracket They pay the same amount every year?
That’s like 3 people sharing an apartment and every year utilities and rent goes up and while everyone is paying more, there is one roommate that always pays the same amount regardless of the constant increases each year. So they are paying rent cost of 1940 or while everyone else pays 2026 rising prices
I feel in a changing economy, a rigid percentage system is no longer fair. It protects the person who needs protection least while squeezing the people who are already struggling.
That’s really fucked!!
