It was the factual truth. Are you saying Texas pays more into Federal Taxes than they get back? It is a simple yes or no question.

What I meant when I said they are a welfare state is that they consistency get more Federal dollars back than their citizens pay in which is welfare. Texas would be a third world shit hole if they were cut off from the public teat.
All you do is bitch and moan about the folks that pay your deadbeat ass state's bills. Texas like David Miller is a taker not a maker.

David's fragile mind can't handle the fact that he lives in a dependent state that can't stand on its own feet and needs a continuous cash infusion from all those blue states he complains about to keep it afloat.

.............It seems like you're conflating income and wealth. I don't know enough about the Washington tax proposal to say definitively which it is that's to be taxed. I would expect that taxing income isn't unconstitutional but taxing wealth is. We'll see how it goes.............
It is an "income" tax. It is a tax of 9.9% on most "income".
The standard deduction is one million dollars per tax return whether it is an individual or joint return.
The background:
The state constitution requires that all taxes be uniform across whatever type of "property" is taxed.
It basically defines property as whatever thing is being taxed.
The State courts have ruled that "income" falls under the Constitutional definition of "property".
The State Supreme Court has ruled that graduated income taxes are unconstitutional.
The voters of Washington have, on several occasions rejected a constitutional amendment to allow for a graduated income tax.
This time they bypassed The constitutional amendment process.
The Legislature also passed it under so-called "emergency provisions" which blocks the citizen referendum process.
As usual, Mark has gotten away from the original topic. The shit he has brought to this topic is the typical way loser liberals deal with issues, by changing the focus to something different - if he wants to have a discussion about who gets government monies, then he can start his own topic. Now, back to the original topic -- How else is a socialist economy supposed to work if it doesn't punish those who dare to work hard and make money for themselves except by trying to tax them into poverty? -- Washington state’s newly signed income tax on high earners is already facing a legal challenge, with critics arguing it violates the state constitution and could hit small businesses. The measure implements a 9.9% tax on income of $1,000,000 or more for individuals and households, marking a major shift for a state that has resisted traditional income taxes. The law that established the tax was passed on March 11 and was signed by Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson on March 30. --- Read here about the stupidity of the state of Washington as they continue to ruin the state and lives with their moronic Socialism governing. --- https://www.foxnews.com/media/trucking-company-owner-suing-state-millionaires-tax-says-policy-hits-small-businesse
