Mother Jones magazine: on Tax Reform


Howard Schultz: Would increase taxes on rich, sketchy on details

Schultz agreed it would be important to raise taxes on the wealthy, but he was unable to say by how much. He acknowledged that economic inequality should be fixed but provided scant details on how that can be achieved, only characterizing progressive plans to tackle inequality as "socialism."

Kamala Harris: Monthly tax credit would provide base income

Harris did introduce legislation to provide "middle class and working families with a tax credit of up to $6,000 a year--or up to $500 a month--to address the rising cost of living." It could fix one of the biggest drawbacks with the tax-credit system: It's distributed just once a year. "A monthly payment would be responsive to that because it would provide you a base income you can rely on," says a senior research associate at the Tax Policy Center.
