I know I'm being Captain Obvious here, but damn, Seattle Times, who's writing your headlines?

The proposed high-earners income tax would be an income tax on the rich, not a general income tax. So, for example, instead of headlining a story about the high-earners tax "Backers launch income-tax initiative," try something like this PI article. Gets the point across and includes the most salient bit of information about the initiative—the fact that it would only affect the very richest three percent of the state's population.*

Otherwise, I might start to think you're biased or something.

*Which, by the way, is probably the reason two-thirds of voters in a recent poll said they supported it. Wonder how the Times is gonna spin that bit of news?
