#waleg Democrats: We tax jobs AND housing

The length of the tweet above was constrained only by Twitter’s character limit, and not by the creativity of Democrats’ machinations

@EvergreenRpt They're already trying to regulate bovine burps (https://t.co/an9WIp1rAM) so give the human breathing tax another year or two

@TravisSCouture @adriancortes @WaHouseGOP I'm beginning to think his "doctorate" must have been an honorary one

[Drew Stokesbary @stokesbary]

@RepCorry @adriancortes @WaHouseGOP hope it's not too late for him to get a refund

Roses are red, the rent is high,
But price controls will bleed it dry.
When profits shrink, the builders flee,
And homes grow scarce for you and me.

The walls will crack, the pipes will leak,
As landlords cut the funds they seek.
With fewer homes and more in need,
The market chokes, yet can’t be freed.

So let growth boom, let builders build,
Let homes be filled, not dreams be killed.
For when we block the price’s flow,
The cost will rise, supply won’t grow.

[WA House Democrats @WAHouseDems]

roses are red
rent should be predictable
let's pass rent stabilization
& make WA more livable <3

I wish I lived in Jay Inslee's version of Washington, full of puppies and rainbows.

Instead I live in the real Washington, where under Inslee's watch, prices and crime rates have soared and over half of our kids are failing to meet grade standards.

WA Democrats spent this year arguing that we should make it more expensive to emit carbon so that less carbon will get emitted.

Well what do these galaxy brains think will happen to jobs in this state if we start making it more expensive to hire people?

Senate Dems not only want a wealth tax, but they are planning to propose making Seattle’s Jump Start tax statewide – and even have a version that would make it apply to ALL businesses, not just those with a payroll over $8M. This is insane stuff. 🧵

@AnthonyMixerWA @RepCorry Businesses experiencing employment needs should pay what they owe so that we can ensure we have enough homelessness funding to properly center the needs of all the new people who will soon be experiencing joblessness under this plan.
