PUBLIC MONEY
Why We're Fighting
We all want the same for our families: to be happy, healthy and have every opportunity to thrive. To make that possible, we spend public money–the tax dollars we collect–on public goods to make our lives better. Unfortunately, some wealthy people, powerful corporations, and corporate legislators prioritize profits over people and rig the system to benefit themselves instead of everyday New Yorkers. It’s time to change that.
We should be putting more public money into things like daycare, building lower cost high quality housing, good schools for our kids, transportation options so people can get where they need to go, healthcare so that costs aren’t so astronomical. There is plenty of money in our state to support all these things, if we get rid of tax breaks that only help those at the top and ask them to contribute to invest in our New York. This is how we take NY in the right direction, ensure the ultra-wealthy pay what they owe so that the rest of us can get by and get ahead, and boost the economy overall.
What We're Fighting For
Every New Yorker should be able to thrive. We will prioritize public goods and services instead of predatory corporate profits by:
- Raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers so they pay what they owe
- Reducing state subsidies for corporations to end the pay-for-play culture in Albany
- Increasing the minimum wage across New York
