Extreme inequality is bad for the economy, and it's bad for society. Here in DC, less than half a percent of taxpayers hold almost 50% of wealth. And we know a solution: #TaxTheRich

If DC's Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee certifies funding for the FY26 Contingency List signed into law by @councilofdc, it would fund essential, lifesaving programs including DC Healthcare Alliance 🎉

Join me in celebrating a huge victory for working-class families across the District: we secured the first-ever District Child Tax Credit and an acceleration of the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion. 🎉

It's true in NYC and it's true in DC.

Our Chair, Morris Pearl, put it best⬇️ “People don’t move out of NYC because taxes are too high. They move because they can’t afford the rent.” The real threat to NYC isn’t millionaires fleeing tax hikes. It's the crushing cost of living that pushes working families out.

DC needs a Child Tax Credit! It will help tackle inequality and help families pay for basic needs.

In addition to a vote on an emergency bill to reject federal tax cuts that would cost DC $658 million in local funds, DC Council is voting on @CMZParker5's amendment to use funds to restore a DC Child Tax Credit.

In DC, people earning more than $1.3 million a year will get an annual tax cut of $41,840. People earning less than $26,7000 will receive only $90--way less than what they'll be spending on rising health care and food costs.

How will your taxes change next year now that the megabill has been signed into law? People making less than $53,000 could see their taxes increase. The richest 1% alone will benefit more from Trump’s tax plan than the bottom 80% of Americans. itep.org/how-will-trump…

While CM Parker's amendment to add a surcharge to capital gains income to help pay for ending homelessness, DC's child tax credit, & more didn't pass, we thank the CMs who worked to raise resources for the critical programs that support DC residents with the fewest resources.

When given the choice between taxing this exorbitant wealth to fund essential services and the social safety net or embracing rampant inequality and austerity, our city government utterly failed today in DC. Proud to be in community with @FairBudgetDC & @JustRecoveryDC

Well that’s not ideal

THIS! Pitting programs for working class residents against each other instead of finding ways to have the wealthy contribute for the good of the working class residents. Tax wealth to stop the cuts! @JustRecoveryDC

Listening to DC Council budget debates now is incredibly sad. So many false choices because of an austerity mindset. Working class Washingtonians deserve better. We can + must start filling the gaps to fight for working people, as @JustRecoveryDC and @FairBudgetDC have outlined

This legislation will make the rich richer, & they're paying for it by slashing programs for the working-class.
@iteptweets's analysis reveals how much will go to the wealthy while many Americans struggle.

The centerpiece of Trump's megabill is a trillion-dollar tax cut to the wealthy, paid for by increasing the national debt and cutting public services.

The tax brought in $2.46 billion for the state in 2023 alone, which can be spent on free school lunches for students and free community college for state residents.

Tax flight is a myth, and Massachusetts adds even more evidence to the large body of research showing that. loom.ly/G5HytG4

The top 1 percent of DC households will get an average annual tax cut of $47,000, if Congress passes the GOP tax plan. DC should raise taxes on the wealthiest residents to capture some of the federal tax cuts and raise needed revenue. actionnetwork.org/petitions/dc-s…

DC is 1 of only 13 states to tax estates. By allowing households to pass on extreme wealth to future generations, we allow wealth inequality to get worse over time. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

The money raised from the Massachusetts wealth tax will be invested in education and transportation. By building a more progressive and equitable tax code, we can ensure everyone shares in DC's prosperity.

Roughly 1,500 households hold 1/2 the wealth in DC. And, Congress is gutting vital programs, taking food off people’s tables to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
