As #taxseason ramps up, remember the wealthiest Michiganders and big corporations will use loopholes to receive millions of dollars in tax breaks while hardworking Michiganders with lower incomes struggle to make ends meet.

It’s time we level the playing field.

Getting your tax forms in the mail?

Here's a reminder that as recently as 2018 working families would have received $350 more if Michigan's Earned Income Tax Credit were restored to 20%. #EITC

Since the start of the pandemic, there has been a 144% increase in parents who've had to miss work to care for a child.

This is why we need political policies that put families first. #CareEconomy #PaidSickDays https://t.co/3y1tBlq4ZN

In the midst of a worst in a century health crisis, ensuring affordable healthcare is a critical component to helping Americans weather the storm. This is a great analysis of @JoeBiden’s initial steps. https://t.co/VGvxPUIUyc

Still working even after your 40-hour week?

Too many salaried workers in MI work 40+ hours per week but still struggle to get by. Increasing #overtimepay protections will help working families, create more stable communities & increase quality of life for all Michiganders.

@ChadLivengood Mmmhmmm... 🤔🧐

One study found that by allowing sick people to stay home and quarantine, the legislation prevented 400 COVID-19 cases per day per state — or more than 15,000 cases per day nationwide. https://t.co/PY3ZisIE3X

The Earned Income Tax Credit was designed to provide relief to working families by allowing them to pay off debt and cover essential living costs, like #childcare and #healthcare. It’s time to put more money in the pockets of working families. #EITCAwarenessDay

Each year, the wealthiest Michiganders and big corporations use loopholes to receive millions of dollars in tax breaks while hardworking Michiganders with lower incomes struggle to make ends meet.

It’s time we level the playing field.

Pharmaceutical companies are making record profits, but millions of Michiganders are having to choose between life-saving drugs and food.

Enough's enough. It’s time to REDUCE COSTS & ensure hardworking Michigan families can afford the medicine and coverage they need to survive.

On Sept. 5, 2018, Michigan legislators voted to raise Michigan's #minimumwage & to require #paidsicktime earned by workers. Two months later, those same legislators voted to gut those policies.

@MISenDems @LtGovGilchrist Can't wait to see you prioritize hardworking Michiganders by:
✅ Reducing #healthcare and prescription drug costs
✅ Creating fair tax policies for all Michiganders
✅ Expanding #overtimepay
✅ Investing in Michigans #careeconomy

[Prosperity Michigan @ProsperityMich1]

We need to invest in the #CareEconomy if we want to get women back to work. This means #paidsickleave, #paidfamilyleave and affordable #childcare for starters.

[Prosperity Michigan @ProsperityMich1]

it's time our politics reflected the shared values and issues that matter to hardworking families, like earned #paidsicktime, #affordablehealthcare, lower cost prescription drugs and affordable #childcare.

[Worker Power Now ✊🏾 @workerpowernow]

The lack of a care economy allowed the pandemic to cause so much damage, and we are all paying the price. We want investments that replenish and strengthen our health as a nation and reach everyone. #CareEconomy

[Prosperity Michigan @ProsperityMich1]

"We don't need a standardized #paidsickleave policy."

"So you agree, people should go to work sick and pass their illness on to other people."

[Prosperity Michigan @ProsperityMich1]

@MCmuckraker And to think they claimed all this in the name of patriotism, stemming from unlawful attempts to undermine our democracy. Gross.
