Taxes on the wealthy

“Instead of these tax breaks and continued loopholes for the very wealthiest among us, let’s focus it on everyday families.”

“The ultrawealthy should no longer be able to hide behind loopholes that leave them paying lower tax rates than the rest of us.”

“Toward that end, I support taxing capital gains over $1 million at the same rate as ordinary income and closing the stepped-up basis loophole.”

“Instead of fighting for regular folks, Congress passes bills that give corporations and the wealthiest Americans special treatment: from tax loopholes to limits on what they pay into Social Security and Medicare. Peggy will fight to stop this special treatment and unrig our system for you and me.”

“Maine’s tax code is upside down. Working and middle-class families pay their taxes every paycheck, while the wealthiest people and biggest corporations too often benefit from loopholes, low rates, and special treatment. Troy Jackson believes it is time to fix that.”

“His anti-corruption agenda bans super PACs and corporate PACs, bans stock trading by members of Congress, and closes billionaire tax loopholes.”

“Pass a cost-of-living tax cut for the middle class: Expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the ACA Tax Credits, and provide a tariff rebate to Americans who have been paying too much for everything, and pay for it by closing tax loopholes and making the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share.”

“Make billionaires pay their fair share in taxes — including by imposing a higher tax on their income and capital gains and ending the dubious “buy, borrow, die” loopholes that billionaires use to grow untaxed wealth.”

“Cut taxes for the middle class and working families and close loopholes for billionaires and big corporations.”

“This endorsement affirms Abdul’s commitment to the Working Families Guarantee, a policy platform that seeks to create a more affordable and dignified America for the working class. It includes a commitment to more affordable housing and healthcare, creating a national program to help workers find union jobs, guaranteed low-cost childcare, and 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave – achievable by taxing the ultra-wealthy and eliminating big money in our politics.”

“I also believe that we should be taxing billionaires’ wealth. Why? Because I care more that we provide things like childcare and healthcare and good schools and good roads, than allowing a billionaire to make their second billion.”

“I believe in right-sizing our tax code to take on the outsized power of excess wealth in our economy and democracy.”

“Tax billionaires and make large corporations pay their fair share”

“Billionaires and big corporations aren't paying their fair share while working families struggle to make ends meet. Troy will make them pay, including by lifting the cap so the wealthiest Americans pay into Social Security at the same rate working people do.”

“Passing a Tax Cut for the Middle Class, Paid for with a Tax Increase on those Making More than a Million Dollars a Year”

“We should tax trillionaires out of existence.”

“Pass a cost-of-living tax cut for the middle class: Expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the ACA Tax Credits, and provide a tariff rebate to Americans who have been paying too much for everything, and pay for it by closing tax loopholes and making the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share.”

“Create a fairer tax system: Make giant corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes. (That way, we can cut taxes for working families and small businesses.)”

“End tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and corporate polluters”

“Instead of these tax breaks and continued loopholes for the very wealthiest among us, let’s focus it on everyday families.”

“And it’s why I supported common-sense tax cuts for hardworking families who need them the most and opposed tax breaks for the wealthy.”

“We need to give the breaks to families, not the wealthiest among us.”

“In 2011, former Governor Paul LePage slashed funding for education, property tax relief, first responders, pensions for state workers and more, all so he could give tax breaks to his wealthy friends. Troy was one of only a handful of Democrats who stood strong and refused to support that bogus plan.”

“I think you pay for it by where we put our money. Repeal the Big Beautiful Bill, take back those tax cuts for the wealthy”

“Troy wants a tax code that puts more money back in the pockets of working and middle-class families instead of continuing to shower benefits on the wealthy and well-connected.”

“Toward that end, I support taxing capital gains over $1 million at the same rate as ordinary income and closing the stepped-up basis loophole.”

“Troy also supports a tax on wealth proceeds so that income generated through accumulated wealth is no longer shielded from the kind of responsibility working people already carry every day. Wealth should not get special treatment just because it is structured differently on paper.”

“Taxing the top tier of wealth in this country is one way to finally build an America that works for working people. The Fair Share Tax Agenda is about unrigging a system that has placed an undue burden on working Michiganders while giving corporations and billionaires a free pass.”

“Taxing billionaire wealth to reduce billionaire power over our economy and democracy”

“Abdul supports taxing billionaire wealth akin to policies proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ro Khanna, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren and will champion proposals that will reduce the wealth and power of the ultra-rich and return it to working people.”

“I also believe that we should be taxing billionaires’ wealth. Why? Because I care more that we provide things like childcare and healthcare and good schools and good roads, than allowing a billionaire to make their second billion.”

“Billionaires should pay their fair share back into the system. I believe that means we have to pass a wealth tax. I think when you start taxing billionaire wealth, you have the opportunity to return trillions of dollars back to the economy to allow other people to participate.”

“I think we should tax billionaire wealth, take some of that money, bring it back to public education. Take some of that money, build schools and roads, provide health care, provide child care.”

“I support raising the marginal tax rate on earnings over $1 million and a billionaire tax on wealth over $1 billion.”

“Troy supports working with other states on an interstate compact to pursue taxation of ultra-high net worth households, including a minimum 5 percent annual tax on assets above $1 billion.”

“Instead of fighting for regular folks, Congress passes bills that give corporations and the wealthiest Americans special treatment: from tax loopholes to limits on what they pay into Social Security and Medicare. Peggy will fight to stop this special treatment and unrig our system for you and me.”

“Billionaires and big corporations aren't paying their fair share while working families struggle to make ends meet. Troy will make them pay, including by lifting the cap so the wealthiest Americans pay into Social Security at the same rate working people do.”

“Barr emphasized his work alongside President Donald Trump to deliver historic tax relief and agricultural investments benefiting family farms and rural businesses. He highlighted the permanent increase of the Death Tax exemption to $30 million for married couples, protections for family-owned farms, expansion of the small business deduction for pass-through entities, and new capital gains incentives designed to help keep farmland in the hands of farmers.”

“Make corporations pay their fair share in taxes — including by raising the corporate tax rate (it has fallen by HALF since the mid-1980s!), ending the “carried interest” tax loopholes that allow hedge funds to avoid paying billions that they owe, and rolling back other extreme tax breaks that allow the largest corporations to pay $0 in federal income taxes.”

“I also support taxing inheritance greater than $1 million like ordinary income and imposing a progressive tax on wealth held by trusts.”
