WA Ranks DEAD LAST for Business Survival – This Is What Democrat Rule Looks Like

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Dead last. Washington State ranks #50 for business survival—60% fail within five years. Welcome to four decades of Democrat rule turning the former business haven into California 2.0. This episode breaks down the brutal reality: a $1,500 license renewal that used to cost $300, gas prices double what you'll pay in Oklahoma, and leadership pushing NEW payroll taxes and millionaire taxes while billions vanish into Somali daycare fraud investigations. Meanwhile, they're scratching their heads wondering why entrepreneurs are fleeing to West Virginia, Texas, and Florida. We've got the highest retail theft in the nation, regressive taxes crushing working families, and politicians who think Cuba is a socialism success story drafting tax policy. Is anyone surprised businesses can't survive here? How long before there aren't enough taxpayers left to fund the grift? If you're tired of watching state leadership tax, spend, and repeat until the wheels fall off, this one's for you.
