Von Goethe said that there is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity. That might fit Tim Eyman who again seeks to earn money by pandering to the fears, ignorance and short sightedness of our public.
I-1033 is another example of trying to put money in the hands of special interests by pulling the wool over the eyes of citizens who think they might somehow benefit from his proposed tax changes.
There is a treatment for ignorance (which is widespread amongst voters) but sadly not for stupidity. Eyman is not an elected official. So what's in it for him to front rich commercial landowners? He gets paid to deceive us and pass these self-serving initiatives at the expense of the majority of us.
So if you are not a rich commercial landowner, all you will likely see from passage of this are fewer services and fewer public employees (for lack of revenue).
Educate yourselves people. Don't act stupidly unless you really have no reasonable alternative.
