44 state tax systems worsen income inequality.

When the lowest-income households pay the greatest share of their income in state and local taxes, gaps between the wealthy and everyone else grow larger.

Many states' and localities school funding systems, including the systems to raise the revenues in the first place, are rooted in a pre-Brown past: racist in origin and in continuing impact. Kudos for tackling head-on.

I am SO excited to share what Saba and I have been up to! @BrownsPromise @SouthernEdFound (also, I managed to lock myself out of twitter today, so I'm a little slow on the post!)
