Big news, Jeanne! Thanks to your work calling on legislators to invest in families, nurses, small businesses, and our community, a MAJOR bill in the state House just dropped. Rep. Noel Frame’s bill, HB 1406, would put a 1% tax on wealth more than $1,000,000,000. That’s on $1 billion with a B. It would tax wealth like stocks, bonds, and other “intangible” assets. And it would raise $2.5 billion every year towards kickstarting our economy! Take action now: tell your state legislators to support HB 1406. The first hearing on this bill is Tuesday in the House Finance Committee. Washington state’s taxes have been upside down for too long, and this pandemic has only made it worse for people trying to get by. People like Robin, a caregiver from Arlington who signed our petition because she is barely making ends meet. Yet Robin pays a bigger share in taxes than billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. That’s a disgrace! Thankfully, HB 1406 will be a big step toward fixing our regressive tax structure and helping families keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. While it taxes the wealth of more than $1,000,000,000, it would NOT tax stocks, bonds, and wealth worth less than that. You helped make this bill happen by demanding the wealthy pay their share. Now, we need you to call on your legislators and make it the law. Washington can’t wait. Thanks for being on this team! If we can make the wealthiest pay their share, imagine what else we can do together….
