Rick Steves celebrated the signing of a new millionaires tax in Washington, which imposes a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. He expressed support for the tax, emphasizing its role in funding childcare, free school meals, and tax credits for low-income families. Steves criticized the state's regressive tax structure, which disproportionately affects low-income residents. He advocates for progressive taxation and equitable public investment, calling for a change to the existing tax system that burdens the poor more than the wealthy.
""A new tax on fat paychecks like mine was just signed into law in my home state-and I like it," Steves wrote, highlighting his support for the millionaires tax."
""It's time to change our upside-down tax system," Steves wrote, criticizing Washington's tax structure that places a heavier burden on low-income residents."
""And-for those of us with a heart for the public good-it's simply common sense," he stated, reinforcing his belief in the benefits of progressive taxation."
