You might've heard Elizabeth talk about everything we can do with the Ultra-Millionaire Tax — from Universal Child Care to cancelling student loan debt.
Billionaires have spent the past week going on national television to talk about how they think the tax that would make them pay their fair share is a bad idea (no surprise there).
We've heard enough from them. Now, we want to hear from you. What would the Ultra-Millionaire Tax mean for you and those you love?
What can two cents do? To help with your brainstorming, here's a list of what the Ultra-Millionaire Tax would pay for:
Universal Child Care and universal pre-K for every baby in this country aged zero to five
Raising the wages of every child care worker in America
Adequate and equitable funding for public schools so every child can get a great public education
Universal free public college and technical schools
Investing at least $50 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions
Canceling student loan debt for 95% of the Americans who have it
We know the real costs of our education aren't easily found in a calculator. So we wanted to ask: What dreams have you — or your friend, or your child — deferred because of student loan debt?
What risks would you take if you didn't have to worry about safe, affordable child care?
And if you're a child care professional, what would that extra money in your paycheck — and recognition as an educator — mean for you or someone you love?
By sharing our stories, we can show the real, human costs of our current system. And together, we make the case for why we can't afford to not have an Ultra-Millionaire Tax.
