	"description": "Families are being squeezed from every direction. Groceries cost more, rent is eating up paychecks, healthcare is harder to afford, childcare remains out of reach for too many parents, and basic bills keep climbing. Instead of asking millionaires and billionaires to contribute more, Trump and congressional Republicans have handed even more tax breaks to the wealthy and large corporations, continuing to protect the people who have benefited most from a tax code tilted toward wealth. States can choose a different path. Massachusetts, Washington, Maine, New York, and D.C. have already shown that state leaders can raise taxes on the wealthy and use that revenue to invest in communities. Massachusetts’ Millionaires’ Surtax offers the clearest proof of what that can mean. Its 4% surtax on income over $1 million raised nearly $3 billion in its first year, more than double what state officials projected. That revenue is dedicated to education and transportation, showing exactly how taxing the rich can fund the public investments families rely on. This is the kind of leadership every state needs. A tax on millionaires and billionaires can help fund schools, healthcare, housing, childcare, transportation, infrastructure, and direct relief for people struggling to afford the basics. The wealthy have captured enormous gains. They can afford to pay their fair share. The billionaire lobby wants state leaders to believe they have no choice except cuts, austerity, and underfunded services. States are beginning to prove that taxing the wealthy can and should be part of the answer. The money is there. It is concentrated at the very top, protected by lobbyists, loopholes, and politicians who refuse to ask the wealthy to contribute more. Tell your governor and state legislators to tax millionaires and billionaires and use the revenue to invest in working families and our communities.",
