Tell Governor Cuomo we must tax billionaires to create emergency income, including retroactive payments, for all excluded New Yorkers.
Yes that includes all illegal aliens.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Flat rate monthly cash payments direct to families - based on $750 per week to each worker - what a typical low wage worker with Unemployment Insurance receives.
- Monthly payments retroactive to the start of the COVID-impacted unemployment crisis, and continuing at least through the end of 2020, like Unemployment Insurance, with triggers to continue the program thereafter.
- Flexible application and proof requirements given the urgent crisis situation. Include self-attestation and information that off the books workers are able to provide - documents for proving identity can be the same as those for getting drivers licenses under Green Light.
- We are calling for New York to immediately enact a “Mark to Market” billionaire wealth tax to bring in an estimated $5.5 billion this year.
- American Billionaires are $565 billion richer than they were at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
- Many of our people have ZERO income. There are 118 billionaires in New York State - plenty of wealth to fund emergency income.
