The Millionaires Tax will put cash back into the pockets of working people, especially young adults and seniors currently left out! See if you will be eligible for the Working Families Tax Credit under the Millionaires Tax expansion: budgetandpolicy.org/schmudget/th...

In a stunning turn of events, corporate CEOs use the huge tax breaks we give them for superyachts, not jobs.

(4/4) Fixing our upside-down tax code and making sure the millionaires tax gets implemented in 2029 depends on people like you! Public education will be key.

As the feds take money from the public to give tax breaks to the wealthy few, WA state does the exact opposite. Hit it, @governorferguson.bsky.social!

Sam Low (R) thinks this story will make us sympathetic? If you can afford a vacation home in the San Juan’s, you can afford to chip in for public schools like your neighbors. Besides - all our neighboring states have more progressive taxes than WA. Where is his rich buddy going to go??

Sign in PRO here for the public hearing: app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie... The millionaires tax would fund education, healthcare, and tax credits for working people. It would be paid by less than half a percent of the wealthiest people in our state on earnings over $1,000,000. #TaxTheRich
