The super rich in Washington are throwing away massive amounts of money on frivolous things like fleets of super yachts and private jets.
They have money to burn, yet mega-millionaires and billionaires in Washington refuse to pay what they owe for affordable housing and schools.
That's right, they've rigged our state's tax code so they get away with contributing the least in taxes, while the rest of us pay more.
Washington is the worst state in the country when it comes to our upside down taxes. Those with the least pay the most in taxes for critical services like affordable housing and education.
It doesn't have to be this way. We came together from across the state to win a modest capital gains tax on the super rich to fund more childcare openings.
Now we demand lawmakers in Olympia make sure mega-millionaires and billionaires pay what they owe to build more affordable housing and keep schools open.
If the wealthiest pay what they owe, all Washingtonians can succeed. Add your name now!
To Washington State's Lawmakers:
You did the right thing when you passed a capital gains tax on the stock market profits of the top 0.2% of Washingtonians. Now it's time to take the next step.
Pass taxes on Washington's mega-millionaires and billionaires so we can fully fund schools and address the affordable housing crisis.
