"The current welfare system punishes people for getting ahead and keeps them in a cycle of dependance. If a family makes $1 more than allowed, they can lose more in benefits than they earned in increased income. This counterintuitive policy, known as the “benefits cliff,” makes it hard for families to survive, much less thrive," said UpTogether CEO Jesús Gerena. "We need to change our mindset from one that supports giving corporations big tax giveaways and at the same time sees investments in people as a handout with no return."

Progressive taxation plays a crucial role in generating revenue for social welfare programs and ensuring a more equitable distribution of wealth. By implementing tax policies that require higher-income individuals and corporations to pay a higher tax rate, societies can address economic inequalities and support programs that benefit the broader population. This approach fosters a fairer system where those who can afford to contribute more do so, ultimately promoting a more balanced and inclusive society. #ProgressiveTaxation #SocialEquality #WealthRedistribution

A change in government from a center-right to a center-left party, or vice versa, can lead to shifts in policy priorities, such as a greater focus on social welfare or economic development. However, these changes typically occur within the parameters of a country's established foreign policy framework and do not necessarily require constitutional modifications.
