The Democrats are attempting to pass a bill that is anti-American and will get crushed in a courtroom. Punishing those who are successful is and will be seen as discrimination (people with money can be discriminated against, not just the poor) and there isn't a judge in the United States that would okay this kind of illegal measure. The political leaders in Seattle are attempting to decide who is "wealthy". If this passes (and you should pray it doesn't), don't be surprised when sooner or later liberal cities like Denver decide $50k a year "a lot of money" compared to low wage workers and they come after your paycheck or they decide that anyone with $250k in total assets (home + 401k/IRA + investments) is "wealthy" and is subject to the new tax.
