Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Last year #waleg created a modest capital gains tax to be paid by only the wealthiest in WA, & those powerful few are opening the war chest to repeal this tax. They don’t want to pay it & they’re using their power to make sure they don’t have to.

Just a reminder that from 2014-2018, Elon Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.27%.
The average working family pays an average tax rate of 13%.
It's time for a wealth tax in this country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The denominator for the 3.27% tax rate includes unrealized capital gains. While they do represent wealth growth, capital gains are only legally required to be taxed in the U.S. when they are realized.
Using only the denominator of taxable income, Musk's tax rate was ~27%.

We have a tax gap because the richest Americans don't pay what they owe while the rest of us do.
In a hearing today, I quizzed the IRS Commissioner: how much have audits of millionaire taxpayers declined in the past 10 years?
For those playing along at home, leave your guess ⬇️

On tax day, I’m reminded of what we’re paying for - public spaces, community joy, education, health! When we ask for tax justice, we’re asking those with the most to start paying what they owe so we can continue enjoying our collective future. #FundOurCommunities #TaxDay2022
