$90 to renew a license in WA state – WTF?!
Just found out through a weird set of circumstances that to renew a driver’s license in WA state now costs an exorbitant $90! From what they tell me at the licensing dept. our legislature in its wisdom, just raised the renewal rate from $20. WTF is up with that. I know that state is strapped for cash, but this just affects many of those who can’t afford it. There is a solution – although it is the third rail for politicians in Washington State, income tax. We urge everyone to sign the new initiative I-1077, which would institute an income tax for high income earners in Washington (of course they’ll probably just move out of state – although only 9 states currently don’t have an income tax).
Stop by our store to sign this petition. An income tax is a much fairer way to collect revenues. Sales taxes are very regressive in that they affect take a larger percentage of income from lower income people than they do from wealthier people.
