"I think what's so appealing about it as a progressive is that 80 percent of capital gains goes to the top 1 percent of Massachusetts households, according to the Mass. Budget and Policy Center, so I would say it's unassailably progressive to want to raise revenue from capital gains,"

Representative Mike Connolly

Speaking about his amendment to the budget to boost the state's tax rate on long-term capital gains to 8.95 percent from its current 5.05 percent.
