Massachusetts's Millionaire Tax Still Going Very Well, Thank You!

And the millionaires aren't going anywhere, for the most part.

Excellent update on year 2 of this program:

Even better! The tax has now generated $3 billion more than expected, for a total of $5.7 billion that has been spent on projects that are positively benefiting Massachusetts residents and “being used to bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit.” In case you need a refresher, the tax is a 4 percent tax on anything people make over a million dollars.
