#TrickleDown didn’t work y’all. Texas’ middle class is shrinking. The wealthiest few, w/ politicians in their pockets, pass tax laws to favor themselves. 👇 Let’s get the prosperity our labor creates: make the wealthiest pay what they owe. We’ve carried them long enough. #tax

The wealth inequality picture in Texas is far more stark: - Top 1% owns nearly 50% - Bottom 50% owns less than 1% The approval of Prop 3 will only maintain this inequality. @EveryTxn #tax #txlege #wealth

Pretty amazing chart in The Times today matching what CBO and others have found — Top 1% owns 31% of US wealth — Bottom 50% owns 2.5%

"The state’s appalling wealth inequality is a result of an upside-down tax system." @EveryTxn has more details here. everytexan.org/2023/10/20/pro…

A constitutional prohibition on a state wealth tax would limit Texas’ ability to diversify state revenue sources and adapt to evolving economic challenges. Learn more: everytexan.org/2023/10/20/pro… #txlege #Elections2023

Howdy, Texas! 🤠 This November, TX Prop 3, the ‘Billionaire Special Treatment Act’ is on the ballot. It’s not about party—it’s about EVERY Texan. When billionaires get tax breaks, our costs rise—from our property taxes to sales taxes on gas and groceries. ⛽🛍️

See how much your school district could lose due the voucher scam being heard in Senate Education docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… #txlege #txed


Just graduated from @Kennedy_School at @Harvard, defying the odds as an undocumented immigrant! 🎓 Despite the barriers, I pursued my dreams, worked hard, and earned my degree. Grateful for the support of my mentors, professors, and friends who believed in me. #DreamsComeTrue

I’m told by sources that today’s meeting with the Senate parliamentarian on the immigration provisions in BBB was “productive.” Not clear yet when a final decision will come down.

Good reminder from @AmericasVoice as Senate Dems unveil budget resolution that includes key immigration provisions: public support for a path to citizenship is overwhelming and broad (75% of Independents and majority of Republicans, too!). #WeAreHome

Thank you @RepSylviaGarcia for listening to my story and for continuing to fight in Congress to give so many people a pathway to #citizenship. #homeishere #wearehome This is the year.

After the TX court decision, I sat down with @s_crvnts to talk about the importance of a pathway to citizenship for #DACA recipients. Thank you, Sam! If you're a Dreamer in the TX29 district, I want to hear from you! Let's win this fight🔽 sylviagarcia.house.gov/idreamof #WeAreHome

#Dreamers and #DACA recipients: what would a path to citizenship mean to you? I’m fighting hard to get a pathway to citizenship done, and your story can help. Please share your dreams, goals, and hopes for the future with me here 🔽 sylviagarcia.house.gov/idreamof
