Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public-school student will have access to free lunch.

Students in Massachusetts will get free lunch and breakfast at school thanks to a new 4% tax put on people who earn more than $1 million.

I'd love to see taxes like these go towards universal child care.
We need it. Now.

The rich need to pay their taxes or they will get spoiled.
- Right, because they dont...... Flat tax could have been a thing, and people voted against it, because they wanted all the same "loopholes" for themselves when the realized what "fair" tax actually looks like.

This is an okay start, but it needs to be nationwide to be effective. It's too easy for the ultra-wealthy to weasel out of one state without any real change in lifestyle.
We need a national wealth tax to take back all the wealth that had been stolen from the middle class for the last 4 decades.
Set the tax extremely high, then have the IRS offer a 10% finders fee to anyone who uncovers any scheme by which the wealthy are trying to illegally hide their wealth
These psychopaths have watched the world starve and struggle while sitting on mountains of money so large that they are practically unfathomable.

This should be a priority everywhere. I can afford to send my daughter with good food, but not everyone can, and just one hangry kid can derail the entire class. And who better to pay for it than people whose financial considerations never include their next meal? Proud of my New England neighbors.
