Videos tagged with Graduated Income Tax

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by President William Kirk, analyzes the constitutional viability of Washington's new income tax, also known as the "millionaire tax." Kirk argues that the tax violates Article 7, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution, the property tax uniformity clause, citing the 1933 case Colatin v. Chase, which established that income is considered property. The video discusses the legislative rationale behind passing the bill despite constitutional concerns and anticipates legal challenges, highlighting the involvement of former Attorney General Rob McKenna.
