Funding Public Services through Progressive Tax Reform
Amply-funded public services benefit all Washingtonians. However, our state is hobbled by a tax system that overwhelmingly favors the wealthy and punishes the poor. As a result, public funding for the common good continually falls short of what is necessary to improve lives and promote long-term, widespread economic growth. EOI advocates for a progressive tax structure and cessation of corporate tax breaks in order to fully fund the public services and programs that benefit all of our communities and protect the economically vulnerable. We are working with community partners at the state and city levels to explore and enact progressive revenue policy that will both fully fund public services and encourage comprehensive reform of Washington’s outdated and imbalanced tax system.
