Tell your lawmakers in Olympia: It’s time to pass a Millionaires’ Tax!

Lawmakers in Olympia are considering ways to balance WA’s $2.3 billion budget shortfall. Add your voice to tell them why you support a Millionaires’ Tax

Washington State is facing a $2 billion budget shortfall thanks to federal cuts and billionaire tax breaks. Working families in Washington are already struggling after cuts to health insurance, food assistance, and more. Lawmakers are considering ways to balance the budget that will take even more resources away from low-income and working families.

We’re coming together to tell lawmakers: No more cuts, tax the super-rich! Proposals for a Millionaires’ Tax would raise nearly $3.5 billion in annual revenue by taxing annual individual earnings over $1 million at 9.9%. Urge your legislators to make the right choice for Washington.

Decision makers say sharing our personal experiences makes the biggest difference. Fill out this form to tell your legislators why you support a Millionaires’ Tax and personalize your email by sharing why you believe now is the time to tax the mega-wealthy. 

Share your experience!

Billionaires, and their friends in Congress, are forcing many of us to choose between groceries and health coverage, and putting more economic pressure on small businesses. Deep federal cuts have impacted health insurance, food assistance, and other basic needs. Why? To fund trillions in tax cuts for those who need it least - the mega-rich and big corporations.

Legislators need to find new revenue sources, like a Millionaires’ Tax, to fund core programs that Washingtonians rely on and to make our tax code more equitable and sustainable. 

Proposals for a Millionaires Tax would:

  • Tax individual earnings over $1 million annually at 9.9%

  • Raise nearly $3.5 billion per year

  • Apply to only 20,000 of the wealthiest people in Washington

A Millionaires’ Tax can fund education, healthcare, and other basic needs while making our upside-down tax code more equitable. 

Act Now: Tell your legislators in Olympia it’s time to tax the wealthy instead of taking resources away from those of us who need them!
