Fact-checking for the real truth about Amendment 87. #copolitics coloradopols.com/diary/22917…
Bell Policy Center retweeted
Thousands of Colorado voters received false text messages warning that Amendment 87 would “hike taxes” on seniors and veterans.
This is “not supported by the text of the measure.”
Help the truth catch up with the misinformation:

UPDATE: This is not true. 9news.com/article/news/polit… #copolitics
Thanks Scott! The measure requires all taxable net income to be taxed. This would be a strict mandate in the state constitution. State deductions and subtractions would be on the chopping block. It’s pretty straightforward. Bell Policy made a choice to do it this way. #copolitics

The "No on 87" campaigns mislead voters by saying Amendment 87 would tax Social Security and pensions differently. 9news.com/article/news/polit…

Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.

Taxing the rich helps fund vital public services and makes tax codes fairer.
It's also one of the most effective tools available for advancing racial equity.
Four states this year passed new tax laws showing how this can be done.

After-tax income inequality reached its widest point in at least 17 years. The 2025 reconciliation law didn't help, leaving 9 million children out of the full Child Tax Credit while expanding tax cuts that favor wealthier households. @smhingtgen explains: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing-the-…

Tax policies under the second Trump administration have mostly asked more from working families and fueled wealth inequality.
The combined impact of tariffs, ending health care tax credits, and OBBBA results in a tax increase for most Americans except the richest 5%.

A graduated income tax isn’t “socialism.” It’s just fairness.
Under Amendment 87 97% of taxpayers will get an income tax cut. People who make over $500,000 a year will see a small increase. The revenue will help cover the things we need most. progressnow.co/2026/09/04/vo… #copolitics

I asked Michael if he can show us where CO's newly qualified graduated income tax proposal gets rid of tax breaks for low income seniors and veterans. He can't, because its not in there. #copolitics
Blaming Title Board is a weak argument. Bell Policy chose to use sloppy language in order to avoid needing to get 55%. I’m sure they already regret it. #copolitics

This is shaping up to be a major test of Colorado media's willingness and ability to combat Big Lie levels of dishonesty from one of the state's most powerful organizations. Wish I could say I was optimistic.

There are not "tens of thousands of small businesses" in Colorado that report annual incomes greater than $500,000. There are fewer than 3,500, less than 5% of all businesses in the state. cdor.colorado.gov/data-and-r…
Reminder to your followers. You messed up the language (or did it on purpose) and are going to increase taxes on seniors and veterans. You’re also raising taxes on tens of thousands of small businesses. Voters are going to have all the info before they vote! #copolitics

There are plenty of valid reasons to oppose CO’s graduated tax proposal, but this slop about raising taxes on seniors & veterans is the definition of misinformation. Read the measure. You’ll find nothing that does that. It’s says a lot that this is their main talking point.
Not only would all seniors on social security and veterans with military pensions pay more under your tax hike, but you’re also working directly with Prop NN supporters to raise taxes on all Coloradans by taking away their TABOR tax refunds. That’s up to $7.2 billion in increased taxes! #copolitics
