Massachusetts Fair Share Surtax
A 4% surtax over $1M that beat revenue forecasts.
B · 17/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Tax very high incomes to fund schools and transport.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics predicted out-migration.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
~$2.2B FY24 beat the ~$1.7B estimate; MassBudget found no clear migration effect; threshold is unindexed.
4 · Liberty check
Taxes top incomes for shared services.
5 · The real tradeoff
Worked fiscally; durability and indexing are open.
