Stop the “Millionaire’s Tax” – Keep Rhode Island Competitive for Businesses

Stop the “Millionaire’s Tax” – Keep Rhode Island Competitive for Businesses

 
Let’s Keep Rhode Island Growing — Not Taxing
 
Rhode Island is gaining real momentum. We’re attracting new residents, creating high-paying jobs, and building competitive advantages in life sciences, cybersecurity, and advanced industries. But now, legislation is being considered that could jeopardize it all.

H 5473 and S 0329 — the so-called “millionaire’s tax” — would raise income taxes on high earners and send the wrong signal to job creators.

This proposal would make Rhode Island less competitive for businesses at the very moment we’re pulling ahead of other states. We already offer a lower cost of living, a lower corporate tax rate, and a better quality of life compared to places like Boston. Let’s build on that — not reverse it.

Massachusetts has seen an exodus since adopting its own high-earner tax, ranking 7th in the nation for outbound moves. Meanwhile, Rhode Island ranked 5th in inbound migration. Our strategy is working — let’s not undo it.

📣 We need your voice. Take a minute to contact your legislator and urge them to vote NO on H 5473 and S 0329.

COPY & PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO SEND TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND STATE SENATE:
As your constituent, I urge you to oppose H 5473 and S 0329, the proposed “millionaire’s tax.” Rhode Island is finally gaining momentum in attracting new residents, businesses, and high-paying jobs — and this tax threatens to reverse that progress. Rather than discouraging growth and investment, we should be focused on keeping our state competitive for businesses with lower costs, smart policy, and a welcoming environment for job creators. Please vote no on this harmful legislation.
