It’s pretty “rich” (pun intended) and not at all surprising that the Jeff Bezos owned, self-proclaimed free market advocates at the WaPo editorial board don’t like the Wealth Proceeds Tax. 1/

here's an example of the impact--a 60yr old couple in DC with income of $85k could see their annual premium increase by $22k-$25k

Truly astounded by @mayorbowser.bsky.social. The social safety net is designed to meet basic human needs in a city with extreme racial and economic inequity, not attract residents or tourists. 🧵https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/07/08/interview-dc-mayor-muriel-bowser-her-blm-plaza-decision/

Check out the distribution by income--it's egregious and remember that this will be compounded by plans for cuts to health care, food assistance, education, and every other good thing, to make way for tax cuts for the wealthy.

This is a massive redistribution of resources from many tens of millions of people who will not get the medical care they need, go hungry, or otherwise experience hardship to the richest and most high-powered among us.

and while this chart isn't DC focused, it gives a sense of who the cuts take aim at

A job guarantee that places 4,100 young workers in full-time work with robust supports for 1 year would cost DC ~$249m annually. This is scalable & while the report doesn't get into it, there are likely substantial cost savings associated with a high-quality employment intervention. 6

DC’s Black-white youth unemployment ratio is nearly 5-to-1 so a job guarantee should look to redress deep & chronic racial inequities and prioritize those most in need. 4

On the road ahead, it'll be really important that we keep dreaming. That's why just last week @dcfpi.bsky.social released a proposal for a DC youth job guarantee to cut through structural barriers erected by a long history of racism & bias in the labor market 🧵 www.dcfpi.org/all/a-qualit...
