Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public-school student is going to get free lunch

[We Never Know]

In a world full of negativity and political BS, this is the best thing I have read in a while. Other states should follow suit.

"Public-school students in Massachusetts are set to get free lunch and breakfast thanks to a new 4% tax on people who earn more than $1 million.

Massachusetts voted for a constitutional amendment to tax high earners in 2022. It went into effect at the beginning of 2023.

Appropriation of the proceeds from the tax is subject to the state legislature, but lawmakers are expected to use it for public education and infrastructure repairs, the Boston television station WCVB reported."

"The outlet reported that a portion of the $1 billion gathered from the new income tax"
Seems the millionaires didn't flee the state. Living in Massachusetts must be still worth it.

OK that's not a bad thing, unless free lunches mean old military MREs......

Watch it flow stealthily back into their pockets by cheap meals sold at considerably inflated prices to the schools for the food service barons.

Just my conspiracy thought for the day.
