Dave Reichert made a plea to end taxes on billionaires in his article on February 17 in the Tacoma News Tribune. In addition, he called for tax credits for the companies these billionaires own. He knows full well that people of the largest wealth pay their taxes on the lower capital gains rate of 15%. If the government eliminates capital gains taxes these people will pay no federal taxes. In addition, he proposes tax credits for the companies they own. With this proposal, the richest Americans will get credits for their companies that are doing business around the world and exporting jobs.

In Dave Reichert's world, the wealthy should be paid by government policies that ensure the safety and security of their money while our jobs are hijacked out of the country. While this happens, middle class Americans should continue to pay higher taxes to reduce the deficits created by the failed Republican economic policies of the past. Dave Reichert is the paid servant of billionaires.

Please vote for me to restore justice to our tax system. Let's tax everyone fairly, including billionaires, and fight for the rights of middle class Americans who are being destroyed by Dave Reichert and Republican fiscal policies.
