When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
We could end homelessness and hunger tomorrow if we wanted to.
We could agree that everyone should be fed and housed.
