Progressives in the Philadelphia City Council have introduced a tax on the city’s wealthy. Councilmember Kendra Brooks introduced the “Philly Wealth Tax” during a Zoom call Tuesday to combat inequality in the city.

It’s a municipal tax that would tax wealth in stocks and bonds.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who ran on a presidential campaign to tax the wealthy, tuned in virtually for the announcement.
