That's the exact argument we got (*meaning, WA state has a millionaire tax that the billionaires are trying to repeal)! It's hilarious.

"Will they stop at millionaires?!" We might go a little lower, but yeah, not much.

We vote in new taxes for ourselves all the time. They act like it doesnt come out of our pockets all the time. Its just a nonsense argument.
