Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

It’s true. You never even send a card on my birthday anymore.

Sweet! While they are on the phone, tell them to have your mom stop calling me so much.

Will all 3 hours and 15 minutes be as forgettable as the first 2 movies? I could not tell you the name of a single character and I have only the slightest recollection of the plots…

Am I the only one who thought that each new actor represented a new Bond? Like, they aren’t referencing the previous films at any point, and they have pretty distinct personalities and looks. I just figured the best new agent took on the mantel of Bond/007. How is this a problem?

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

This pretty much sums up the entire ideological dispute between the two American political parties.

What they are arguing about, on almost all issues, is either methodology or magnitude. That is literally it.

The party of We Will Kill You vs the party of We Will Let You Die.

Get 'em!

253 for life.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Doing it up right! Happy Bday.

Yep. I’m not a sadist, but a bit of a wake up call might be in order for people who enabled Trump with their votes.

As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century

That direct link to realities of Nazism and other forms of oppression such as Stalinism or colonialism is now gone

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

At some point, people are going to realize that turning our country into one giant casino (including but not limited to sportsbetting, crypto, memestock betting, etc) was a mistake

“How DARE Cracker Barrel change their logo 😡🤬😡🤬 I’ll never eat there again!”

“Destroy the White House harder, daddy 🥵🤤”

Oh really? They are upending their lives because of a tax that doesn’t affect their lifestyle in the smallest way? Maybe they should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and deal with it.

I DON’T KNOW that there’s ever been a more feckless, cowardly squeaker of the house than Mike Johnson.

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

I worry that the Sonics will yet again not win a single game.

Oh sh*t...we're guaranteed at least 4 more games of this...

I'm a single issue voter now, my issue: revenge

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Oligarchs don't care if the United States is functional after they liquidate it. This country is just another Toys R Us, Kmart, Joanne Fabric deal to them. Cash out and let the buildings crumble. That's the plan. They have islands full of trafficked children all around the world they can retire on.

Did the same thing to the Hawks. Insanely frustrating.
