And if every state did that...where would the rich folks go? Europe and other 1st world countries I think have a higher tax rate than us. And I don't see them all fleeing to 3rd world countries. I guess they could build their own island 🤷
As noted by economist @rbreich.bsky.social (& others), taxing millionaires works. In the USA! #Hoosiersky, there are over 138,000 millionnaire households in #Indiana. 🤔 Just think what we could be funding, instead of living through budget cuts that the guv keeps telling us are "necessary" 🤣!

Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?”

That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like
