Vambo Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-propose-baby-bonds-close-racial-wealth-gap-black-lives-black-wealth-matter Democrats propose higher estate taxes to pay for their plan to close the racial wealth gap House and Senate Democrats this week proposed a bill that would instruct the federal government to give anyone born in the U.S. after 2005 a $1,000 "seed savings account," and then make contributions to that account until they are 18 – a plan sponsors say is aimed at closing America’s "racial wealth gap." The "baby bonds" bill, from Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., would give children up to $2,000 a year in the lowest income families, an amount that would drop as families earn more. Once a family makes more than 500% of the federal poverty level, their kids would only receive the initial $1,000 payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
