Tax the Rich

Tax fairness activist John Paraskevopoulos tells Theresa Alt about New York City DSA’s Tax the Rich campaign and the broader statewide coalition Invest in Our NY. The campaign aims to tax high incomes with a state income tax that is higher for the very rich and to tax investment income the same as wages. It would tax wealth by taxing inheritances as well as extending the property tax to property other than people’s homes. It would put more taxes on Wall Street. Recorded January 8, 2021.
