Restoring the American Dream:
A Community Conversation on Big Money, Inequality and the Average Voter October 11, 2014
As a reminder, this is not a group or business page. This page was started eight years ago to tell community members about a group called RAD Team Tacoma. The RAD is an abbreviation for “Restore the American Dream.” I could convert it to a group, but we would need a group admi
nistrator, and so far no one has stepped up to do that. So, until that happens or until Meta (Facebook) sends me a bill, it remains as is. If you are interested in converting this to a group, email me at [email protected]. The following is from an email to me from Jamie Wheeler, Fuse Washington on March 11, 2022
Tax reform
One of the biggest needs in Washington state is to fix our upside-down tax code and require the wealthy to pay what they owe our communities in taxes. After passing the historic capital gains tax last year, we threw our support behind a wealth tax. This 1 percent tax on assets like stocks and bonds valued at over $1 billion would affect about 100 ultra-wealthy Washingtonians. More than 450 Fuse members signed in to support this bill in committee as part of a massive 2,500 person show of support. While the bill didn’t pass this year, we’ve helped to lay the groundwork for more progress on this bill and others in the future.
