Ever since the defeat of I-1033, taxes have skyrocketed. Property taxes will be doubled, proposed new taxes on all food, an income tax, and greedy union teacher thugs demanding even more money. At the rate Washington state spends on education, it will equal the what the Dept. of Defense. spends on the entire country and the total amount of taxes each citizen will be paying will be close to 100%. Thanks a lot you liberal tyrants.

I-1033 freezes public spending at the current recession level. It does not allow for restoring any public services lost due to the current recession, except by a public vote. This costs money and is intended to prevent any new services being implemented, like investing in infrastructure or providing better education for our kids. It's says leave things as they are and it's everyone for themselves. This runs counter to our history of providing public services for everyone for the public good.

"The people of Colorado repealed TABOR, but it will takeyears to recover"

This is a fallacy, watch TABOR in Colorado: Setting the Record Straight on Colorado's TABOR. I1033 will force elected leaders to choose what is most important to fund, if different than today, while able to ask for "more" through individual referendums.

"Tim is in this for himself" "Everyone actis in what they believe is their own-best interest." Priceless.

It has nothing to do with making more affordable by cutting property taxes. It has nothing to do with saving people money by saving anyone else any money. It has to do with Tim Eyman and his cronies in Bankrupting the State of Washington. I could not have said it better myself.

BTW. My best interests are good education, roads and public safety. I-1033 cuts into all of these services

The people of Colorado repealed TABOR, but it will takeyears to recover.

I-1033 is the same kind of legislation as TABOR. Tim Eyman is not brazen enough to admit his goal is to bankrupt the State of Washington.

Recovery from a severe recession or depression depends on services that your camp won't provide others. The recovery will require police and fire protection, it will require education, and it will require infrastructure jobs. This initiative cuts into all of that.

The possibility of a recovery can be completely wiped-out by not funding the projects that it will take to get everybody on their feet again.

People are tired of Tim Eyman's something for nothing deals. Vote NO on I-1033

I believe that fire and police departments should be adequately to prevent our neighborhoods from burning and prevent crime. I don't think that policemen and firemen's time is well spent collecting money at intersections so they can buy new radio equipment or repairs for the firetruck. I think that roads should be repaired by taxes that everyone pays, not to have roads converted to toll roads just so that the roads can be maintained.

I believe in paying for my part of the commons.

I believe that education is key in getting the economy going again. Less money for services equates to more fundraisers. I don't want to see my kids having to peddle Tim Eyman watches in order to have heat and toilet paper in the schools. I don't think underpaid teachers should be bringing in the paper for the copy machine. Instead, I think kids ought to have books, computers, and other equipment to go to school. I think they should have decent student/teacher ratio, etc.

Clearly, Initiative 1033 is a wealth-fare for the rich. It's a wealth transfer scheme that takes sales taxes and other fees paid by everyone and only using them to pay property taxes for wealthy property owners when the economy improves and more revenue comes in above this years recession baseline. If you don't understand this, you are being duped.

I'm not a something for nothing type like you. I believe in paying my fair share for the services my kids and I receive.

Economics is a science, but not a hard science like Chemistry or Physics. Yes, John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman both had opposing theories. But both Keynes and Friedman both understand that Government does have influence on the economy. The whole study of macroeconomics focuses on that understanding.

A poor state fiscal policy during a recession or depression can bring the state's economy to its knees.
