"Ohioans, we’ve been paying the price for these income tax cuts for 20 years. These cuts primarily go to the wealthiest of households and it makes the state budget, what we are able to do for the rest of us, so much harder.".
Hannah Halbert, Executive Director of @PolicyMattersOH, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss changes to Ohio's income tax, its impact on public services and the future of state funding.

Who benefits from the tax cuts in Trump's megabill?. More than 70% of these tax cuts will go to the richest 20% of Americans. The richest 1% will receive a total of $117 billion in tax cuts in 2026 alone. See our national and state estimates here:.

The federal budget cuts to Medicaid funding would be a major threat to 11 rural hospitals in Ohio, and 430 across the nation. On top of people losing access to health care, these hospitals are often one of the largest employers in these communities.

The fed budget being rushed to a vote would be the largest transfer of wealth from low-to-middle income people to the rich in U.S. history. Contact your Senators and tell them we can't afford cuts to services like Medicaid and SNAP to finance tax cuts:
The House tax bill overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Americans. Net tax cuts:.$138 billion for top 1% of Americans.$92 billion for bottom 60% of Americans. This will worsen wealth inequality through the tax code.

For 20 years, lawmakers have chipped away at Ohio’s income tax — the only tax based on your ability to pay. Now, they want to destroy any notion of equity in our tax code by moving to a flat income tax. Sign to call on Gov. DeWine to veto the flat tax:
