Taxing the Rich in American History

Come to the EBDSA office or tune in on Zoom at 6 pm on Wednesday, September 16, to hear a talk on the vibrant history of progressive taxation by author and tax expert Vanessa Williamson. Williamson’s recent book, The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History (Basic Books, 2025), is a political history of the United States from colonial times through the present, filtered through the understanding that every consequential issue the nation has faced includes a tax dimension. Taxes are fundamental to democracy, and progressive taxes essential to an inclusive democracy. You will never think of American history the same way again after reading The Price of Democracy.

After her presentation, Dr. Williamson will take questions. Following the Q&A you will have the opportunity to sign up for a reading group on her book co-sponsored by the East Bay’s DSA Tax the Rich Working Group and Political Education Committee. You will also hear about the latest exciting developments in the California DSA campaign to pass Propositions 3 and 40 in the November statewide election.

Talking Taxes: A Forum on Taxing the Rich

Talking Taxes: A Forum on Taxing the Rich

East Bay DSA will be hosting a forum to provide an overview of the two progressive tax measures that will be placed before voters on the November state ballot.

Tax policy? Sounds boring. Or does it, when we’re talking about making the wealthiest Californians pay a fairer share of taxes? Find out how this will happen thanks to the Billionaire Tax and the Education and Health Care Act, both of which will be appearing before voters this fall.  

You will hear about recent progressive tax efforts—successes as well as failures—in California and how their lessons inform this year’s measures. Speakers from the campaigns will provide updates and you will have an opportunity to ask questions and get answers. You’ll also find out what you can do to pitch in.

A Zoom link will be available for those who would like to attend online. RSVP for access.

(Those in the East Bay may also attend in-person at the East Bay DSA office, 1610 Harrison St Suite D, Oakland.)
