Public-school students in Massachusetts are set to get free lunch and breakfast thanks to a new 4% tax on people's earnings above $1 million.
Massachusetts in 2022 voted for a constitutional amendment to tax high earners. It went into effect at the beginning of 2023.
State House News Service, an independent news wire, reported that $1 billion of the state's record $56.2 billion fiscal budget for 2024 will be funded by its new 4% tax.
Gov. Maura Healey signed the budget on Wednesday, making Massachusetts the eighth state to adopt a plan for free school lunch since the expiration of federal free school lunches that had emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The outlet reported that a portion of the $1 billion expected to be gathered from the new income tax would be used to provide all public-school students in Massachusetts with free breakfast and lunch, if they want it.
WCVB reported that state lawmakers agreed to allocate $523 million of anticipated revenue from the new tax on education and set aside $477 million for transportation.
In February, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to pass his billionaires' tax proposal, which would impose a minimum 20% tax on households with a net worth of more than $100 million.
Unlike Massachusetts' new tax, which is on income, the proposed billionaire's tax is aimed at wealth.
Jared Bernstein, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told CNBC the proposal would target "big corporations and the wealthiest Americans," while protecting people who made less than $400,000 a year from tax increases.
Biden also signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law in February, which included a 15% minimum tax on corporations earning more than $1 billion.

To all my UK friends, I'd really appreciate if you could take a couple of minutes to do this. The site frames the letter for you, and sends it to your MP. You can add to it if you want, but you do not have to you mainly just add your name to it.
It's about free school meals for all primary school children, which is really important with the cost of living crisis being what it is.
Honestly this site makes it very easy to do. Spread this around too, the more pressure we can put on the better.

If someone is required to be somewhere, that place should be required to provide everything a human being would reasonably need in the time they are required to be there. Nutrious food, clean water, and sanitation.
Which is why every school should provide free meals to all children. You are forcing them to be there. None of them should be hungry.

It should be illegal to make kids pay for their school lunch everywhere.

ZAYN MALIK using his platform for a good cause.
To all the people hating on zayn, please stop. This man has experienced a lot of issues and unnecessary hate which he doesn’t deserve. But I’m so proud to say that whatever negative judgement they throw at him, he stepped up, took a stand, stayed humble and still has the biggest heart.
People should see the good things he did and not just focus on the flaws he has made. Zayn’s not perfect like the rest of us, he makes mistakes but despite that, he’s a good person. A person with a golden heart and willing to lend a helping hand.
Praying and hoping this post will get seen and heard. Inflation is happening all over the world and this crisis will keep on going if there’s no action.
