I don't enjoy admitting when I'm wrong, but here it is: I could not have BEEN more wrong than I was in my blog yesterday. I hereby retract everything I wrote regarding Tim Eyman and his gambling/property tax initiatives.
In fact, if I were to criticize him today, I would say that he has not gone far enough with his brilliant plan to subsidize government with gambling profits.
Hopefully, tax "rebel" Eyman will see the same inspirational light that I have, before his paid felons (or whoever they are) succeed in getting the signatures he needs to get his existing initiatives on the ballot.
Stop the presses! Let's take this as far as the clever Ashley Revell, the man who liquidated everything he owned–including (quite literally) the shirt on his back–and rested his financial fate on the roulette wheel. Man bets it all--and wins.
Wake up, Tim! Let's go for big bucks and no whammys, slice our property tax by half and take our chances on the wheel of fortune. Everyone knows that real gamblers don't waste their time on the nickel slots. We can send the governor to Vegas on the first day of each fiscal year with all of our tax proceeds, and his/her bet will either double our money or lose it all.
If we lose, that single act might save a lot of time and money on a re-election campaign...two-for-one, Tim. Right up your alley!
No time to waste, let's rewrite those initiatives and put the plan into action. 50-50 odds ain't bad, right?
