Seattle City Council approves income tax on the wealthy

Yes, the City of progressive Happiness and Utopia.

The Seattle City Council unanimously approved [/url]an income tax on wealthy residents Monday, a move widely expected to draw a quick legal challenge.
The measure applies a 2.25 percent tax on total income above $250,000 for individuals and above $500,000 for married couples filing their taxes together.

“Seattle should serve everyone, not just rich folks,” software developer Carissa Knipe told the council before the 9-0 vote, saying she makes $171,000 per year.

“I would love to be taxed,” the 24-year-old from Ballard testified, drawing applause from a room packed with supporters of the tax.

I bet you'd love to be taxed at a higher rate, FOOL! 

[url=http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-income-tax-would-cost-millions-to-set-up-and-enforce-analysis-shows/]The city estimates the tax would raise about $140 million a year and cost $10 million to $13 million to set up, plus $5 million to $6 million per year to manage and enforce.

I think they are seeing big dollar signs in their dreams.

The council’s finance committee cleared the tax last weekand increased the rate from 2 percent to 2.25 percent.

Opponents have argued the tax would violate state law and the state constitution, while proponents have said it would make Seattle’s tax structure more fair and they want to test the legality of taxing income.
