Applaud Washington for Making the Rich Pay Their Fair Share

Washington state just took a major step toward a fairer economy — and it deserves recognition.

Leaders have enacted a new Millionaires’ Tax on incomes over $1 million, helping to rebalance one of the most regressive tax systems in the country and ensure that the wealthiest residents contribute more to the common good.

This bold policy will fund real, tangible benefits for working families — including free school meals for students, tax relief for small businesses, eliminating the sales tax on essential items like diapers, and direct financial support for hundreds of thousands of households.

For too long, working people have carried the heaviest tax burden while the wealthiest paid less than their fair share. Washington is showing that a better path is possible — one where prosperity is shared and communities are prioritized.

Add your name to applaud this step toward economic fairness and support efforts to build a more just, people-first economy.
