Racial justice requires unrigging this system, and taxing wealth more heavily, to build a future where everyone can thrive.

A Wealth Proceeds Tax would also improve racial equity: Centuries of extractive policies and practices that have stripped BIPOC people of wealth while allowing white people to amass extreme wealth and grow it across generations.

Capital gains income overwhelmingly flows to the top 1%, and we under tax the most well-off, tax their wealth less often, and, in some cases, allow them to accumulate fortunes and pass vast sums of wealth to heirs tax-free.

The BAT is not a “double tax” as some opponents have claimed. As proposed, the BAT would be a dollar-for-dollar credit against the franchise tax and targets businesses that are currently paying little or no franchise tax. dcfpi.org/all/a-business-act…

A Business Activity Tax Would Make DC’s Tax System More Equitable While Raising Revenue | DC Fiscal...

By enacting a Business Activity Tax—a new, simple, broad-based value-added tax, DC would make business taxation fairer and more racially equitable while raising significant revenue for the District.

A Business Activity Tax would close a loophole that lets law firms, lobbying shops, and consulting firms with non-resident owners skip DC business taxes entirely. That revenue could make childcare affordable for DC families and help end chronic homelessness.

DC should implement a Business Activity Tax. It’s profoundly unfair that the often very high-income lawyers and consultants with clients in DC but not living here aren’t held to the same standard as non-resident owners of DC restaurants and dry-cleaners.

Your regular reminder that if you really want to help moms be home when their kids are very young, the policy for that isn't child care subsidy, it's paid leave -- which the U.S. continues to lack at a national level and which the White House is welcome to propose at any time.
