Right-wingers will fear-monger all day long about these state "Millionaires Tax" ballot measures, but the numbers show they yield very positive results.

"Republicans took away healthcare from millions to pay for making ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in America. Seriously -- they gave ICE an extra $75 billion in the Big Beautiful Bill that slashed healthcare. What a load of crap." - Rep. Chris Deluzio

"We will be litigating the impacts of The Big Ugly Bill and holding folks accountable for taking away healthcare from Americans and cutting food assistance in order to fund a rogue government agency that wears masks while terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors." - Kristen Crowell

The numbers are almost hard to fully comprehend: Jeff Bezos makes in one week what the Washington Post loses in 5 years.
And yet he laid off one-third of the newspaper's staff today.
All while avoiding billions in taxes.
Welcome to the oligarchy.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

The GOP Congress set aside $800 million in bonuses for ICE, with individual payouts up to $50,000.
Meanwhile, the average American bonus is around $2,500, if you even get one.
They can’t fund healthcare because they are lining the pockets of an agency that is terrorizing our communities.
We’ll keep it short and sweet: Kevin Warsh is a disastrous choice to oversee monetary policy as Chair of the Federal Reserve.

While the president screams nonsense about a "Democrat hoax", one thing is for sure - more tax cuts for billionaires who don't need them and billions of dollars for ICE to terrorize our communities is not helping American families pay for education, housing or healthcare.

"Alex Pretti's murder is the predictable result of unchecked federal force backed by congressional funding and political indifference. We cannot relent until federal forces have been withdrawn from our cities, and the agents and officials encouraging this violence have been held accountable."

#TaxBillionaires
Remember in November: They cut out the tax credits that help you afford your healthcare and instead used your tax dollars to terrorize your communities.

"As the global elite mingle in the Swiss Alps this week, discontent over their lifestyle is percolating back home. And it’s manifesting in a renewed interest in wealth taxes targeting the super-rich."

"The Big Ugly Bill will reduce income for the poorest 20 percent of Americans by an average of 3.8% while increasing income for the wealthiest 20% by 3.7%. That 7.5 percentage-point gap is not fiscal discipline. It is a deliberate upward redistribution."

The GOP's cruel inaction to stop skyrocketing health insurance costs are punishing millions of Americans 👇
"It's like the rug yanked out from under our feet the last couple of months," Matt Padula said.
Congress is rejecting almost all of the deepest cuts to programs that Trump requested for this year, turning back his efforts to slash funding for foreign aid, global health programs, scientific research, and the arts in a bipartisan repudiation 👇

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont), usually an ally of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, supports the measure: “It’s a matter of values. We believe billionaires can pay a modest wealth tax so working-class Californians have Medicaid.”
"For most of my life, I thought my hardest moments -- the bills I couldn’t pay, the groceries I had to put back at the checkout line, the dental emergency that spiraled into medical debt and eventually cost me my home -- were personal failures." - Kristen Crowell
