A Fair State Tax System

l-Gov.com

Across the state, funding is being cut for programs that support the low-income elderly, homeless, those seeking substance abuse treatment and people who need mental health care. Further, the environment is being ignored. The most vulnerable people and locations in this state are being damaged in order to maintain tax rates that favor the richest citizens and corporations in California.

The state now taxes the bottom 20% of income-earners at a 57% higher rate than the most wealthy—that is the top 1% of income earners—in the State.

As Governor, I would design a fairer tax system. A fair system would actually increase tax revenues by about $10 billion by simply requiring the richest 5% of Californians to pay the same tax rate as the poorest 20% already pay.
