Fair and Equitable Taxation
The WSMA supports the concept of fair and equitable taxation in our state,
including the implementation of a constitutionally limited income tax when
used to reduce/eliminate/modify the sales tax and B & O tax as is
otherwise appropriate and fair, and the WSMA resolved to participate in a
coalition to this end. (Reaffirmed A-23)
The WSMA supports taxation to achieve adequate financing of health and
social programs. (Res 28, C-87; Res 9, C-88) (Reaffirmed A-23)
