The number of New Yorkers and corporations that earn between $5-25 million has grown over the past few years, and the coalition says that a tax increase of just half a percent on individuals and 1.75 percent on corporations would generate as much as $3 billion that could be invested in the lives of working- and middle-class New Yorkers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">State Senator Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn) said that this is simply about basic fairness.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIf you buy gold bars in the state, you get a tax break.
