Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for June 27, 2025.
A progressive coalition known as Invest In MI Kids is pushing a proposal to appear on the 2026 Michigan ballot that would end the Michigan's regressive flat tax, and replace it with a 5% surcharge on couples earning $1 million.
The money would be used to help replenish the state's dwindling education funding, which has been hurt significantly thanks to tax cuts for the rich and elite in the state.
And at a time when the working class is suffocating while the oligarchy gains more wealth and power, this kind of a progressive proposal is what the working class needs now more than ever.
