加利福尼亚州和芝加哥州提议征收富裕的定向税,以弥补预算缺口,引发关于经济影响的辩论。 California and Chicago propose wealthy-targeted taxes to fix budget gaps, sparking debate over economic impact.

加利福尼亚州和芝加哥州正在推行有争议的税收计划,以便随着流行病时代联邦基金的结束,解决预算短缺问题。 California and Chicago are pushing controversial tax plans to address budget shortfalls as pandemic-era federal funds end. 加利福尼亚的拟议亿万富翁税将对180名特富裕居民的净值征收5%的税,以筹集1 000亿美元用于保健、教育和赔偿,而芝加哥市长则提议征收公司头税以弥补城市财政缺口。 California’s proposed billionaire tax would levy a 5% tax on the net worth of about 180 ultra-wealthy residents to raise $100 billion for health care, education, and reparations, while Chicago’s mayor proposes a corporate head tax to close city fiscal gaps. 这两项措施都面临对潜在经济后果的批评,包括将高收入者和企业驱赶到低税收国家的风险,尽管主张税收是公平和必要的进步倡导者的支持。 Both measures face criticism over potential economic fallout, including the risk of driving high earners and businesses to lower-tax states, despite support from progressive advocates who argue the taxes are fair and necessary.
