State Legislature 2013 session

[eridani]

70. Please contact your legislators and ask them to support HB 2064 to fix our estate tax

Sample letter--

Fixing the estate tax is a critical step toward fully funding our education system. With a billion-dollar budget deficit and another billion dollars required by the McCleary decision, we simply cannot afford a $130 million giveaway to millionaires and billionaires.

Washington already has the most regressive tax code in the country. Due to unjust tax loopholes, the wealthiest few are able to rig the system to avoid paying their fair share. It's long past time to reform our tax system and make it more progressive.

The Senate should pass a bill reconciled with the House bill. After the recent bridge collapes, you'd think people would stop their childish whining about paying for public goods.

I urge you to fix our estate tax, close tax loopholes, and extend the B&O surcharge to fund education and essential services for all Washington residents.
