WASHINGTON STATE DRIVING OUT HIGH EARNERS

By Bob Walsh

 


As of right now Washington State has no state income tax.  In a few days, assuming the Governor signs the bill (which he has said he will) there will be a 9.9% income tax on persons who earn $1 million a year or more.  

This tax will effect about 20,000 households in Washington.  

It appears that a number of those high earners are already fleeing the state or are preparing to do so.

Gee, what a surprise.
