Putting Kids First. Building a Stronger Michigan for Everyone.

reduce class sizes • expand career & technical education • recruit & retain high quality educators

WHAT IS THE INVEST IN MI KIDS PROPOSAL?

Constitutional amendment to: add, beginning in 2027, an additional 5% tax on annual taxable income over $1 million for joint filers and over $500,000 for single filers. This tax is in addition to existing state income taxes, and is to be deposited into the State School Aid Fund and required to be used exclusively on local school district classrooms, career and technical education, reducing class sizes, and recruiting and retaining teachers; and subject funds to annual audits.

WHY A "FAIR SHARE" SURCHARGE?

Overall effective tax rate by income quintile in Michigan

A more balanced tax code in a time of rising inequality

Like the rest of the country, Michigan has become a more unequal state since the 1980s. The top 1% take home a greater and greater share of income than the rest of us.

Michigan also has regressive tax laws, where the highest earners pay a lower effective tax rate than everyone else.

A fair share surcharge creates more balance in our taxes, protects everyday families from rising costs, and ensures sustainable funding for our future!
