Beto O''Rourke proposes a "war tax" to pay for veterans' benefits.

O'Rourke proposes a tax on households which will be earmarked in a trust fund to cover health care of the veterans of any newly-authorized wars:

Households making less than $30,000 per year would pay $25; those making less than $40,000 would pay $57; those making less than $50,000 would pay $98; those making less than $75,000 would pay $164; those making less than $100,000 would pay $270; those making less than $200,000 would pay $485; and those making more than $200,000 would pay $1,000.

Governor Jay Inslee says his federal government would end all ties between the government and the fossil fuel industry. Inslee proposes an end to tax breaks for oil companies, banning all drilling and extraction on federal lands and beneath federal waters, and closing the revolving door between oil lobbyists and the federal government.

“The climate reduction goals simply cannot be achieved unless America as a nation is prepared to take on the greatest and most powerful special interests that are holding back our clean energy future,” Inslee wrote.
