In 2021, Washington State passed a 7% capital gains tax on the rich.
To date, that tax has raised over $850 million dollars β three times what it was supposed to.
Amazon is still here.
Microsoft is still here.
Boeing is still here.
The wealthy are doing just fine. Anyone who tells you we can't tax "job creators" is lying to you.
