Washington State Introduces 9.9% Income Tax on Millionaires: A Progressive Move or Job-Killer?
Washington state has implemented a 9.9% income tax on individuals earning over $1 million, aiming to fund childcare, free school meals, tax credits for working families, and small business breaks. This move comes after federal tax cuts under President Trump widened the tax gap. Democrats view it as a fix for a regressive system, potentially generating $3 billion annually. However, Republicans argue it could drive away jobs and entrepreneurs from major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Starbucks. Lawsuits challenge the taxs constitutionality, and the state braces for potential business shifts.
