Show Notes
States are fighting back against wealth inequality and cost-of-living crisis. Nineteen states introduced over one hundred bills targeting tax changes to make the system fairer. Proposals include taxes on high incomes or capital gains for millionaires, ending tax perks for certain contractors or data centers. Organizers argue past policies favored the rich, leaving states to handle the fallout. A coalition released a guide for a true affordability plan, covering higher minimum wages, rent controls, better worker rights, and access to childcare and healthcare. Experts expect more bills soon, with growing momentum from unions, lawmakers, and communities.
