Washington recently had a vote: raise taxes on Washingtonians to pay for a Seattle transit. The people who use the transit or are affected by Seattle traffic outnumbered those who don't use it and don't live in the Seattle area. Now a specific tax for this service has doubled for the million or so people who do not use or are not impacted by the Seattle transit (including me).

Should we have to pay for what we do not use or want, or should the people who use or want the thing be the ones to pay?
