Progressive revenue reform; taxes on excessive wealth and capital gains; adjustments to real estate excise taxes to fund affordable housing; closing payroll and corporate tax loopholes; targeted tax relief and credits for low-income households; racial and economic tax equity measures; defending public program funding
