Dear Legislator,

I am writing to you because I support a wealth tax in our state. If you vote to pass SB 5486/HB 1473, it would level the playing field for people in my community who are working hard to take care of our families.

A few wealthy people and corporations have designed our system so that communities of color and lower-income families pay up to six times more of our incomes in taxes than they do. If we finally make them pay what they owe, we can take care of our neighbors with disabilities, fund our schools, and make homes affordable for all of us.

The people chipping in the most for these services right now are not the people raking in billions on the stock market. We are school teachers trying to pay for supplies, caretakers just scraping by, and small business owners working hard to keep afloat.

Multimillionaires and billionaires should pay what they owe in taxes and not expect working families to continue to subsidize more than our share for our schools, roads, and services. Can I count on you to support the wealth tax this year?
