Der Staat Washington schreibt Geschichte mit der Verabschiedung einer hohen „Millionärssteuer“ inmitten der Erschwinglichkeitskrise

TLDR

Washington state lawmakers have approved a „millionaire’s tax“ imposing a 9.9% tax on residents earning over $1 million, expected to generate over $3 billion annually for education and other programs. This marks a significant shift in the state’s tax system, which has been criticized for its regressive nature. The tax aims to address economic disparities, as families in the lowest income brackets pay disproportionately higher tax rates compared to the wealthiest. While Democrats celebrate this historic measure, Republicans argue it could drive wealthy individuals and businesses out of the state. The tax approval reflects broader public dissatisfaction with the federal government’s economic policies under the Trump administration, as many Americans face rising costs of living.
