The super-rich want a tax cut at our expense. We won’t let them win.
Conservative mega-donors sent I-2109 to the legislature, hoping lawmakers would repeal the capital gains tax – taking more than $5 billion from child care and education over the next 6 years.
We must tell lawmakers to NOT line the pockets of the super-rich at our expense. Send a letter to your legislators now telling them to REJECT I-2109!
This initiative is bankrolled by a mega-millionaire trying to buy himself a tax break – by taking $900 million a year from students, child care providers, schools, and more. We can’t let that happen.
Washingtonians support the capital gains tax to fund education. The capital gains tax is just on Wall Street stock profits larger than $250,000. Only 4,000 people paid the tax last year, but that sent nearly $900 million to expand childcare, provide more early learning, and repair our schools.
Poll after poll shows that voters in Washington want the super-rich to pay what they owe our communities.
Tell your legislators to REJECT I-2109 and send it to the ballot where voters can prove that we support taxing mega-wealthy. We know that if this initiative makes it to November’s ballot, Washington voters will do the right thing and keep billions for education through the capital gains tax.
