The world over, taxes only grow

Regarding the letter, “Income tax would always go higher”: Quote: “…no matter what direction we go, many of us know Washington state will never be satisfied…”

Over in Europe, the Norwegian government is stacking up enormous wealth from oil exploration/development but outside hapless taxpayers’ scrutiny.

And instead of keeping prices lower than in all of Europe — which would be affordable and make sense — politicians demand the highest gasoline price of the whole world. Negatively affecting transport cost and consumer prices.

Maybe Norwegians are advised to stay home? Car buying, for example, activates a 100 percent tax!
