Politicians, particularly Democrats, think your money is their money to spend as they please. In my state of Washington, Democrat majority, we have no income tax. For years now the majority has been trying to get one. The people keep voting it down. This time, a brainstorm. Create a capital gain tax but deny it's a tax and call it an "excise tax". Got voted thru and governor signed. Immediate lawsuit which went up to Supreme Court to hear later this year. In the mean time, THE COURT DECIDED TO LET THE STATE COLLECT THE TAX AND SORT IT OUT LATER! Wanna bet how the court is going to decide?,
Then they spilled the beans. When the court decides its Constitutional, then they will hurry up and do it again for a full income tax and let the court decide. Which is against the Constitution since it would require a Constitutional Amendment!
