Washington Tax Policy: A People's Perspective

We are MPA students at The Evergreen State College and are here to provide you with information and tools to better understand Washington State's taxes. Our goal is to help you analyze our tax system and think about alternatives to the status quo, regardless of your political views. The current system is rather regressive and targets those who can least afford to pay. Is this right? Can Washington do better?
