Millionaire Tax Proposal in Rhode Island Gets Governor’s Support Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee proposed a higher tax on millionaires to help fill a hole in the state’s budget and offset cuts to other levies that would benefit lower-income residents.

The proposal is backed by countless studies that show Americans achieve no further happiness once income surpasses $500k/yr, though the governor's proposal is still overly generous to the rich, with a higher $1m threshold. Would raise their tax by only $20k/yr.
