Are Billionaire Taxes Falling? That Depends On Who You Think Pays Corporate Taxes.

The proposal includes small tax cuts for large corporations, no taxes for small businesses, and aims to reduce reliance on a few big corporations to fund the city. However, the proposal is seen as incremental and not radical enough by some, with concerns about the temporary nature of the cuts, the risk of concentration among top taxpayers, and the retention of anti-business measures like the Overpaid Executive Gross Receipts Tax. Additionally, the proposal will need to be voted on by citizens in November, adding complexity to the process.
