DC Council can raise needed revenue by taxing the District’s concentration of wealth and closing a loophole that allows certain businesses whose owners live outside of DC to avoid paying taxes.

Contrary to claims that DC’s tax and spending is “out of control,” the revenue DC has collected for the Local Fund Budget as a share of the economy has been steady over time. Not accounting for inflation produces an exaggerated picture of budget growth. dcfpi.org/all/dcs-local-reve…

DC’s Local Revenue and Spending Has Been Steady Over the Past 25 Years, As A Share of the Economy |...

At a time where many have lost their jobs and are experiencing economic hardship, lawmakers should shore up economic supports rather than slash them.

DC’s inadequate revenue growth is due to major changes to the economy, including major strain from federal policies. The Trump admin’s mass layoffs have caused a man-made recession for DC & remote work has driven a steep decline in commercial property values & tax collections

If lawmakers fail to raise revenue now, thousands of residents will lose access to critical services and programs, exacerbating poverty and racial disparities. dcfpi.org/all/dc-lawmakers-m…

DC lawmakers need to address inadequate revenue growth, a trend that is unlikely to change given structural changes to DC’s economy.

After-tax income inequality reached its widest point in at least 17 years. The 2025 reconciliation law didn't help, leaving 9 million children out of the full Child Tax Credit while expanding tax cuts that favor wealthier households. @smhingtgen explains: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing-the-…

This bill is so smart and exciting. DC with a land value tax could make our city so much more vibrant and equitable!
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhleJul 24
Replying to @maustermuhle
A second proposed change would be more notable for homeowners: It would allow D.C. to consider moving to a land-value tax (where property taxes are based only on value of land, not land and building) or a split-rate system (where land and buildings are taxed at different rates.

As wealth inequality grows, local governments across the nation should step up to make the wealthy pay their fairer share in taxes. Local officials have a range of progressive tax policies that can help fund better public services for their communities. itep.org/tax-the-rich-fund-o…

Under 3 DC

Under 3 DC, a coalition that successfully pushed lawmakers to prioritize the pay equity fund in the past, is fighting once again for full funding for the program. At a panel Wednesday, the coalition presented research on the positive economic returns of the pay equity fund washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

D.C. child care workers got life-changing raises. Now they may be cut.

If the city can’t find funding for the program, thousands of teachers could face pay cuts —a whiplash that comes after the pay raises changed their lives.

The highest-paid 5 percent of DC households captured nearly 25 of every 100 dollars of income generated in 2024. Income inequality will likely only continue to worsen with the OBBBA and its massive transfer of wealth from the bottom up.

When given the choice between taxing this exorbitant wealth to fund essential services and the social safety net or embracing rampant inequality and austerity, our city government utterly failed today in DC. Proud to be in community with @FairBudgetDC & @JustRecoveryDC

Listening to DC Council budget debates now is incredibly sad. So many false choices because of an austerity mindset. Working class Washingtonians deserve better. We can + must start filling the gaps to fight for working people, as @JustRecoveryDC and @FairBudgetDC have outlined
