What I am saying is very clear. This isn't any normal progressive tax, whatever the merits or demerits of those are.
This is a tax that almost anyone can be in favor of, because as it is being sold anyway, it could not possibly touch more than 1% of voters.
Some very high earning software people, some doctors and lawyers, some Amazon, Starbucks, Paccar execs, owners of successful car dealerships, real estate developers.
IMO the money is better off with these people than it would be in public hands. Many of the things I do every day are currently and were in the past funded by these highly productive local people. Who will do more for medical care in Africa, Bill Gates or Christine Gregoire?
Or, ask any Ferrari dealer how he sees it. I rather enjoy seeing Ferraris on the street, even though I know I will never have one.
