Regarding the Sept. 30 commentary, “Rich need to pay fair share,” by state Rep. Maralyn Chase:
As a member of the public sector, Rep. Chase looks forward to a pension provided by the Washington state Department of Retirement Systems when she retires.
Perhaps she needs to be reminded that many of us from the private sector have invested already-taxed earnings into stocks and bonds to provide for our retirements. We aren’t “rich,” we just don’t want to outlive our money. Taxing intangible assets (again) is a bad idea.
