WA Cares is a new program to help Washingtonians of all ages pay for long-term care - something that many of us will need at some point but often can't afford. Unfortunately, it's already under attack - even before it's begun. opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/what…
Millionaires are paying about HALF the tax rate they did pre-1980. Where corporations once provided up to 1/3 of federal revenue—their share is now under 10%. The rich are richer than ever, and corporations are raking in record profits. "Trickle-down economics" is a failure.
More women-owned businesses are opening up around Puget Sound, which is exciting - but it's also a reminder that when the economy changes, policies also need to change to ensure we're supporting workers and families. axios.com/local/seattle/…
April makes most Americans think about taxes - but there are a lot of things about taxes that many of us don't know. One thing we do know, though, is that the vast majority of us believe that corporations and millionaires should pay up. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…
Today! Join us at noon at Chocolati in Greenwood for conversation and coffee (and probably tea 😏)
"For many Americans, health care is an almost universally frustrating or confusing experience." nytimes.com/2024/04/18/ins…
A new report finds that American families spend, on average, about 1/5 of their income on childcare. And yet, childcare providers frequently struggle to make ends meet, as well. How can we fix this gap? usatoday.com/story/money/20…
Your job takes up your time and your time is worth money. End of story. The idea that some jobs don't require skill is just an idea propped up by capitalists to support the exploitation of workers who do all the work to keep their companies going! 🎂 trinityskitchen on IG
Reminder: Billionaires are bad for the planet.
Nationally, the least-wealthy fifth of Americans pay around 11.4% of their income in taxes. In Washington, the lowest earners pay 13.91%! Our tax code is rigged to benefit the most wealthy, at the expense of the rest of us. We must fight to fix this. thenewstribune.com/news/state/was…
Happy 🌍 Day
The single biggest reason for families to declare bankruptcy is heathcare costs. It's no wonder so many people worry about affording basic care. kff.org/health-costs/i…
Do people really want to #taxtherich? According to this new data, yes! New @MomsRising @nwlc poll: Majority of voters support taxing the wealthy, especially if the revenue is used for childcare, eldercare, and paid leave. nwlc.org/resource/memo-…
We should not be struggling to provide quality, affordable childcare - especially in a nation where we have more billionaires than ever before. finance.yahoo.com/news/we-are-in…
"The notion that rich taxpayers will flee if the state comes for their money is mostly fiction." THANK YOU. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
The high price of #ChildCare has a significant impact on families, especially women. Drawing from our National Database of Childcare Prices, we've published fact sheets on the cost of child care by Congressional district ➡️ public.tableau.com/app/profile/wo…
An annual cash refund of up to $1,200 for eligible Washingtonians, and even after today, you can still apply for it. #1u #TaxDay thestand.org/2024/04/tax-da…
This is what we mean when we say our tax code is rigged. #TaxDay
It's not often that "progressive revenue-raising policies" and "Washington" are in the same Tweet (unless it's something that DIDN'T pass)! This is the direct result of our new capital gains tax, which impacts a tiny fraction of payers but benefits kids all over the state.

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit (CTC) was a HUGE relief for families! Join us this #TaxDay2024 to call your Senator and tell them to pass the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024, which will temporarily expand the CTC for families! actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns…
