#TaxTheRich #FundOurFuture

We fund roads and schools without debating who can afford them. Public hospitals shouldn't be different. The fix is on the table. Let’s get it done. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/24/h... #mnleg #SaveHCMC

HCMC is fighting to survive while Big Tech gets a free pass on taxes. HF 4343 would change that — making billionaire platforms finally pay their share. It's time to fix what's broken. #mnleg

Instead of supporting the needs of all Minnesotans, MN House Republicans are pushing for dozens of local sales tax increases for their own districts. Not only is it hypocritical, it will make our system more inequitable. A kid's chances shouldn't depend on their zip code. #MNLeg

On this #TaxDay, did you know that in 2025 U.S. billionaires got an obscene $1.5 trillion richer? Meanwhile, working Americans got higher costs, fewer services, and stuck wages.

Happy #TaxDay, Minnesota! We have the most progressive tax code in the country — and we get what we pay for. While 4 MN corporations paid $0 in federal taxes, we still have work to do. But today, let's celebrate what's possible when we invest in each other. #mnleg

Nobody should have to sell their blood to pay their bills. Billionaires pay less in taxes than nurses and teachers — and this is the GOP response? #mnleg

Meta makes billions off your attention and pays nothing in MN sales tax. Representative Liz Lee (67A) introduced a bill fixes that — lowering the rate for everyone while helping fund schools, healthcare and childcare. It's time to unrig the tax code for regular people. #mnleg

When the worst accidents happen, the Minnesota Nurses Association and @afscme.bsky.social workers of HCMC are there for us. When for-profit hospitals and private insurance companies turn people away, MNA and AFSCME workers of HCMC are there for us. Now we need to be there for them. (1/2)

🧵 The state's safety net hospital is on the edge. And the reason why should make you think. HCMC is broke because it takes care of people nobody else will, picking up the pieces for a broken system. HCMC cares for 115,000 patients a year...(1/9) #mnleg

Nice graphic, Bob! Here in Minnesota we call it the cycle of distrust, highlighting the role that public disappointment in government services plays in perpetuating the cycle.

When someone points out that your silly tax cut will save families just $11 per year while costing the state $40 million. Learn about why sales tax exemptions aren't the way to make life more affordable for Minnesotans: www.house.mn.gov/SessionDaily...

While some for-profit hospitals turn people away, public hospitals like HCMC serve all of those in need. They deserve our support and we deserve a healthcare system that cares for everyone.

Love to see it.

Wonder why so many Minnesota school districts across the state are turning to voters for local funding year after year? Thank Jesse Ventura and Tim Pawlenty. Saint Paul: Vote YES on November 4th. Then let’s tell state leaders it’s time to raise revenue and stabilize school funding. Yesforspps.com

It's actually more costly, short-term and long-term, to give tax cuts to billionaires. How dare they do this to our great state.

New Mexico saved up money from taxing oil and gas companies to pass the nation's first universal child care program. Minnesota has the third highest average cost of child care in the country. There’s a bill for that, and we could fund it by taxing the rich and corporations.

We need to choose a better path. We continue to reward the rich for being rich, while the working class struggles to overcome generational barriers. Imagine if our policies were focused on eliminating systemic wealth gaps - all of us would be better off. spokesman-recorder.com/2025/09/17/o...

In the richest country in the world, people should have their basic needs met.

End corporate giveaways, fund our classrooms instead.

The Massachusetts “Fair Share Amendment,” popularly known as the Millionaires Tax, continued to deliver a financial windfall this year, as more and more states look to replicate this tremendous success 👇 Read more here: bit.ly/4lDqvIj #TaxJustice

Wealthy people and corporations always threaten to leave when they’re asked to pay what they owe. History shows they don’t follow through. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

New analysis from the non-partisan CBO of the "Big Beautiful Bill" shows it was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in our nation's history - and we need to hold accountable every member of Congress who voted for this abomination. Read more here: bit.ly/46P8ao2

It’s time to show our Minnesota values - correct the inequality raining down from the federal government by taxing the rich and providing healthcare in our state.

Who gets hurt, when from *the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in US history.*

Investing in an equitable society benefits everyone.

“It’s immoral. It’s unethical. It’s un-American, folks.” Jake Johnson, a public school teacher and candidate for MN CD-1 on the Congressional megabill.

AZ House Democratic Leader Oscar De Los Santos explains at our Phoenix stop how Trump and congressional Republicans chose to take from Arizonans and give away their tax dollars to some of the wealthiest humans on Earth. Join us as we fight back: www.fairshareusa.org/join-our-ema... #TaxJustice

Rep. Kim Hicks on the largest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in our history, and the stakes for people with disabilities. We need a system that values people over profit.

“I believe in the people in this country - if we open our eyes up as a society.” In Oro Valley, AZ, Lisa Levine, a retired Army captain and educator, says that America can overcome if we open our eyes to how the rich and corporations have captured our politics and made us so unequal and divided.

We stand with the Nurses.

If everyone who benefits from our social safety net voted for people who support our social safety net, we wouldn’t be facing cuts to Medicaid.

What if we cared for our neighbors just a little bit more? What if our public policy reflected that? We can make our state better for everyone.

We’re in the wealthiest country in the world, yet we spend remarkably little on public goods and services. Other countries have figured out how to take care of their people. It’s time we build the political strength to take care of each other.

Everyone wins when the working class wins.

These people lack the basic human decency to govern. The only thing that matters to them is helping out billionaires who never have to worry about medical bills. Read more here: bit.ly/4kAEuz8 #TaxTheRich

We’re all supposed to get services for our tax dollars - that’s why government exists. A shared pool of resources. Billionaires are doing everything they can to take that away from us. They don’t care about you.

They plan to rob you of healthcare and increase your daily costs, while handing even more wealth and power to billionaires. Send this to friends and relatives that are misunderstanding what this bill is.

Be aware that cuts to services we all rely on is simply a choice - and we could be asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share instead. We’ve been through this before. We can make different choices.

Can’t believe we have to say it. Public funding for public needs - not corporate interests.

As the federal admin is set up to tear Medicaid apart - harming millions of Minnesotans - the House GOP is spending time casting doubt on Medicaid. Rep. Hicks is right - the agreed HHS bill addresses their concerns, but they’re holding it up because they distrust public agencies.

You’re not saving money by denying people health care.

While we fight to protect our public funding and environment here in Minnesota, Congressional Republicans are moving to sell our country for parts - to corporate polluters, the big business that they're fighting to cut taxes for. STORY: apnews.com/article/west...

Social Media is the Big Tobacco of our generation - harming our public health (especially our kids) while shirking responsibility. Rather than cutting essential public services, legislators can tax the wealthiest corporations what they truly owe to our shared society.

For too long, private tax lobbyists have blocked common-sense legislation that would allow all of us to have less headaches around tax season. They continue to exert power over electeds to make profit off of a system that should be free. www.startribune.com/no-more-turb...

Simply a shared pool of money so we can work together, for the benefit of us all. Don’t talk about taxes in a vacuum.

Ike fought and won World War II. Real men don't complain about the taxes they have to pay to live in a fair and just society.
