washington state just had its first payments on its new 7% capital gains tax on all stock and commodity sales over $250,000.00.
of the 3100 people that paid the tax ... they paid out OVER $800,000,000.00 to washington state.
There are still ~2500 people that own have yet to file and pay in the state.
So ~6000 people are hoarding at least $1,500,000,000.00 in washington state alone. Billions just sitting there in the hands of basically a few thousand people.
Fuck your sales tax.
Tax the fuck out of the rich.
Sounds like Washington state is at least doing something about it. Hopefully more states follow suit.
