This morning’s rant will be about Prop 121, how important it is that #workingfamilies understand our role in #taxpolicy and fighting for #fairtax to reach #economicsecurity

CO’s flat income tax rate means the wealthy always pay less in taxes than me & probs you #copolitics

First of all, this is a great ballot guide if you care about economic security and recovery. @BellPolicy nerds out on this stud so we don’t have to. They have produced tons of data throughout the years to show us what it means to thrive or struggle in Denver, & CO.

First, it is a #VOTE NO on prop 121 ya’ll, let’s get into it:

This prop would lower income taxes across the board. But it isn’t what you think it is. We can’t afford to lower taxes, we have to make #fairtax possible by finding ways to make them #equitable

Yes, my grammar sucks. But, let’s get into WHY Colorado can’t afford to pay less in taxes, and WHY getting everyone to pay less means low income Coloradans pay more in taxes than our wealthy few #fairtax #copolitics

VOTE NO on PROP 121

This tax cut will permanently cost the
Colorado general fund about $400m/year.
That's larger than the entire budget of
Colorado's Department of Natural
Resources. #copolitics

Denver Public School teachers can’t afford homes cause they are underpaid. denver7.com/news/local-new…

Why does teacher pay matter here? Cause state revenue can help fund a lot of things - our schools, their pay, our streets, etc. We NEED to keep a healthy #taxcode and just make it more #equitable is all.

75% of taxpayers will save less than $63
from this tax cut. Worth it? No.

Our schools are suffering. I have a 6 yr old in @DPSNewsNow - Colorado owes K-12 schools $321 million in fiscal year 2022-23, as part of its unmet constitutional obligation to adequately fund public education. #copolitics

Prop 121 will make our schools fall behind more. VOTE NO

The Colorado Department of Transportation needs $747 million annually just to maintain our current “C+” road surface grade - prop 121 will make this condition even worse. By increasing traffic, tolls and repairs. VOTE NO on 121. #copolitics

The increase in health care costs for the state share of Medicaid was more than $200 million in fiscal year 2022-23, compared to the previous year.
As one of the fastest aging states, Colorado can't afford more cuts to health care #copolitics

VOTE NO on 121 Colorado.

#taxpolicy is your business if you pay taxes.

Did you know that #taxes were used as a way to limit Black wealth building and a way to keep schools segregated?

Tax systems can be used as vehicles for oppression if we don’t pay attention. #copolitics VOTE NO on 121
