SB6346 imposes a flat 9.9% tax on all "Washington taxable income" exceeding $1 million per year, with revenue being redistributed to support K-12 education, healthcare, higher education, human services, and expansion of the working families' tax credit.
The Washington State Senate passed SB6346 on March 11, 2026 by a vote of 27 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the nays because lawmakers should focus on reducing all taxes, including Washington's income tax, which is already one of the highest in the nation. The income tax is a form of government-imposed theft, seizing income that individuals have rightfully earned. Additionally, this bill penalizes success, and will encourage high-income earners to leave Washington. SB6346 violates the principles of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, both of which were designed to protect private property and ensure equal protection under the law for all Americans.
