About Tax Justice

Pennsylvanians work hard, day in and day out, to take care of their families—but many of us are struggling to make ends meet while wealthy corporations and the 1% get richer and richer.
 
Yet we tax work too much and wealth too little. Working families in Pennsylvania pay among the highest state and local tax rates in the country, but the state’s ultra-rich pay less than half those rates. And greedy multinational corporations pay Pennsylvania no corporate taxes at all.
 
At the federal level, billionaires pay barely any taxes and corporations escape tax rates that are already too low by hiding their profits abroad.
 
When greedy corporations pay little, we pay for the benefits they get from the government. 

Because wealthy corporations and the ultra-rich don’t pay what they owe, our state lacks the resources to provide all Pennsylvanians with an opportunity to benefit from their hard work and to contribute to their communities.

We can’t provide everyone with a good K-12 education or the opportunity for worker training or a college education. We can’t make our communities safe. And we can’t make health care, child care, and senior care affordable. PA needs tax justice NOW!
