States are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich
It’s clearer than ever that the effects of the national rise in economic inequality are spilling over into local communities. With the federal government lacking the necessary urgency to respond to and address the crisis, states are taking matters into their own hands and proposing their own millionaire taxes. From coast to coast, officials have proposed all sorts of measures to raise the wealthy’s tax bills.
According to President Trump, the state of America’s union is STRONG, the Golden Age is upon us, and “we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.” All true…for multimillionaires like us. For the 86% of Americans who are worried about the price of groceries? Not so much.
My name is Dr. Kaitlyn Henderson. I joined the Patriotic Millionaires four months ago as the organization’s Senior Director of Wage Policy and Legislative Affairs. I came from Oxfam America, where I was the Senior Researcher leading their domestic portfolio on wages and labor and the staff-elected board member.
