A letter to the editor in today’s Star-Advertiser that nails the issue with the Estate Tax giveaway bill, HB2653. #FundOurFuture staradvertiser.com/2024/04/18/edi…
Expanding the estate tax exemption—as proposed in HB2653—is the wrong choice for Hawaiʻi and would curb our ability to combat rising income inequality, while depriving our budget of much needed revenue. We should instead raise taxes on the super rich. hiappleseed.org/publications/c…
Attention Geographers! Going to Honolulu for @theAAG's annual conference next week? Join NZA director @sarabronin, Hawaii Zoning Atlas director @ggordn3r, @HIAppleseed, @hihousing & more zoning superstars for a happy hour after Tuesday's conference events!
The measure is scheduled for another floor vote today, but it is not certain that the House will again vote to approve it. Tell your lawmakers to reject estate tax giveaways for the rich at bit.ly/hitaxfairness #TaxTheRich #FundOurFuture
“If we want an economy in which Hawai‘i’s working families can make ends meet, we need to align our policy with our values. We missed opportunities to gain ground this year. We cannot afford to walk backwards with estate tax cuts for the wealthy few.” civilbeat.org/2024/04/what-d…
🚨🚨🚨 Submit testimony in opposition to SB3289 TODAY before 1 pm. Then use bit.ly/hitaxfairness to automatically send an email and make a phone call to your state house rep telling them to oppose this dangerous estate tax giveaway for the richest among us. #TaxTheRich
Given the legislature’s need for new revenue sources, closing the #CapitalGains loophole is a common-sense way to raise taxes on those who can afford it, without impacting working families that are already burdened by regressive taxes such as the GET. hiappleseed.org/blog/hawaii-ca…
“Policing tactics, media coverage & government policy must shift away from blaming pedestrians for vehicle collisions and punishing them w/ fines. Instead, roadway safety policy should address the underlying systemic issues that lead to traffic violence.” civilbeat.org/2024/03/want-s…
“If it becomes law, Hawaii would follow other states and cities to either repeal or reform jaywalking in VA, CA, NV, Denver, Anchorage and Kansas City, MO—representing about 52 million residents, according to a study by Hawai‘i Appleseed.” #FreedomToWalk staradvertiser.com/2024/03/19/haw…
“The legislature has a pivotal opportunity to address Hawaiʻi's acute shortage of #AffordableHousing by reevaluating conveyance tax rates on the sale of multimillion dollar investment properties,” writes Appleseed senior policy analyst Arjuna Heim. hawaiitribune-herald.com/2024/03/17/opi…
The Hawaii State Senate CPN committee is considering a bill that would dramatically expand the estate tax loophole here, allowing multimillion businesses to be passed down to heir tax free. HB2653 is a dangerous bill that should be deferred.

“I believe HB1775 should be passed because no child should be denied food. Ensuring that the next generation of politicians, educators or even doctors is well-fed should be the priority.” — Kaleikaumaka Camara staradvertiser.com/2024/03/10/edi… Take action at bit.ly/hawaiihungerac…
🚨Not too late to submit written testimony in OPPOSITION to HB2653 at capitol.hawaii.gov. Just say “No estate tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.” #TaxTheRich
Here's why a pair of estate tax breaks for the rich (HB2652 & HB2653) working their way through the Hawaiʻi State Legislature are bad policy for Hawaiʻi. HB2653 has a hearing in the CPN committee tomorrow. hiappleseed.org/blog/hawaii-tr…

@nikosleverenz @HIAppleseed That last paragraph really sums it up.
"If we truly want a thriving economy, where Hawaii’s working families are able to make ends meet, we need to align our policy with our stated values." What Do Estate Tax Cuts For The Wealthy Say About Hawaii’s Priorities? #HInews @HIAppleseed civilbeat.org/2024/04/what-d…
What Do Estate Tax Cuts For The Wealthy Say About Hawaii’s Priorities?: A bill allowing this has already passed through the state Senate with no votes in opposition. dlvr.it/T56xNq #HInews
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said it well: “We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” Should the tax cut become law, it will speak volumes about our state’s priorities.
“If we want an economy in which Hawai‘i’s working families can make ends meet, we need to align our policy with our values. We missed opportunities to gain ground this year. We cannot afford to walk backwards with estate tax cuts for the wealthy few.” civilbeat.org/2024/04/what-d…
For $23 million a year, lawmakers could have given our public school Keiki a leg-up on learning with Universal Free School Meals. Instead, they’re offering a $43 million a year tax cut to the richest 0.2% of households in Hawai‘i. What are we doing here?

For just $13 million a year, lawmakers could have set up a rent relief fund that could have prevented some 2,500 annual evictions, helping to triage our growing epidemic of houselessness. Instead, they’re giving a $43 million tax cut to the richest 0.2% of households in Hawai‘i.

Lawmakers have asked state departments to prepare for the possibility of devastating 10–15% across-the-board budget cuts. The Great Recession showed how damaging this would be to the economy. Simultaneously offering the richest 0.2% of households an estate tax cut is madness.

It is unconscionable to be offering a $43 million tax estate cut to the richest 0.2% of households while killing bills that would help the working class for far less money and asking for state departments to tighten their budget belts. It’s bad for our economy AND our democracy.

When it’s Paid Leave for workers, lawmakers say “no mo’ money.” But when it’s a $43 million a year estate tax giveaway for the richest 0.2% of households, suddenly lawmakers aren’t worried about the budget. This is the worst kind of trickle-down, pro-oligarchy policy imaginable.

🚨🚨🚨 Submit testimony in opposition to SB3289 TODAY before 1 pm. Then use bit.ly/hitaxfairness to automatically send an email and make a phone call to your state house rep telling them to oppose this dangerous estate tax giveaway for the richest among us. #TaxTheRich
The richest 0.1% of Americans now hold nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90% of families combined. The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act aims to make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share in taxes on their wealth the same way most people do on work.
The ever-growing estate tax exemption further enriches mega-millionaires as they pass on intergenerational wealth. By continuously expanding it, policymakers are supercharging extreme inequality. New from @amyhanauer & @NaomiAWalker. cnn.com/2024/03/15/opi…
We can easily afford to pay for both universal free school meals and the Keiki Credit by taxing capital gains at the same rate as regular income. #TaxFairness is about how we #FundOurFuture. And our keiki are the future.

🚨Not too late to submit written testimony in OPPOSITION to HB2653 at capitol.hawaii.gov. Just say “No estate tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.” #TaxTheRich
It’s unconscionable to give away tax breaks to millionaires when our keiki are going to school hungry and the state could provide universal free school meals to them with an adequate budget.
Here's why a pair of estate tax breaks for the rich (HB2652 & HB2653) working their way through the Hawaiʻi State Legislature are bad policy for Hawaiʻi. HB2653 has a hearing in the CPN committee tomorrow. hiappleseed.org/blog/hawaii-tr…
