The Democrat former governor of the state of Washington slammed her party's millionaire's tax causing the wealthy to flee the state while Seattle remains riddled with crime. 

Christine Gregoire, who ran the state from 2005 to 2013, was asked at a recent business summit if the Democrat-led state legislature understood how their tax policy was affecting the state.

'No, I really don't, as evidenced by, you mentioned the estate tax,' she said, noting the state briefly went to a sky high 35 percent, highest in the nation, before rolling back to 20 percent.

Now, Washington is merely tied for highest in the United States with Hawaii and has begun imposing a 9.9 percent tax on household incomes above $1 million.

Gregoire hopes this will finally get Democrats in Washington to see straight.
