Friends,
During the last few years, increasing Democrat control of
Olympia has resulted in many scary policies for people across Washington. Just a few examples:
· Democrats’
energy tax hikes – including their carbon tax – have left working families struggling to cover basic living expenses, from the cost they
pay at the pump to the cost of heating their homes to the cost of groceries.
· Democrats’ long-term care tax promises to take even more money out of workers’
paychecks, with nothing “long-term” or “caring” for many.
· Democrats realized their state income tax obsession with their passage of a capital gains
income tax, which is now under review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
· Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies – like their ban on police pursuits –
have effectively blocked law enforcement officers from doing their jobs, impacting rising crime rates.
Given it’s Halloween, we took the
liberty of imagining a few “scary” costumes that best represent some of the Democrats’ scariest policies. AND, we want to know,
based on the Democrat policies, which of our Halloween costume ideas do you find the scariest?
Gas Tax Vampire:
· Wear a vampire costume with fangs, a cape, and pale makeup.
· Accessorize by attaching small gasoline pump icons or price tags to your cape.
· Carry a fake gas can with "Gas Tax” written on it.
Bureaucratic “Long-Term Care Tax” Zombie:
· Wear a typical zombie costume with torn clothing and zombie makeup.
· Attach "Long-Term Care Tax" labels to your clothing.
· Carry a prop that symbolizes inefficiency, like a tangled web of red tape or a broken
calculator.
State Income Tax Monster:
· Dress up as a colorful and playful monster with a big mouth.
· Attach fake paper money (or play money) to your costume, with bills sticking out of the
monster's mouth.
· Accessorize with a sign that says, "State
Income Tax Monster."
“Soft-on-Crime” Fighter:
· Dress in a mismatched, eccentric outfit with various elements from different superhero
costumes.
· Carry an oversized, comically large
“Criminal Justice Manual” that appears exaggerated and impractical.
· Accessorize with a prop that symbolizes a humorous and unconventional crime-fighting tool,
such as a giant rubber chicken.
We hope you’ll participate in our survey before Halloween – and share it with your friends
and family to help draw attention to the Democrats’ many scary policies.
Look out for the survey results on Halloween Day!
Happy
Halloween,
The Shift WA Team
