4. The Upward Mobility Act vs Other Recent Proposals 4  Creates $10 billion in additional revenue, unlike the California Commission on Tax Policy in the New Economy (the Davis commission) and the Commission on the 21 st Century Economy (the Parsky commission) that were both revenue neutral.  Restructures and modernizes the personal income tax rate while lowering the top marginal rate to prevent top earners from leaving California, unlike the Davis commission that did not address personal income tax.  Looks at making California’s Corporation Tax more inline with other states once minimum wage with cost of living adjustments has reached a reasonable rate, as determined by the legislature.  Establishes up to a $2 billion Earned Income Tax Credit to protect low income workers; EITC was not addressed by either the Davis or Parsky Commission.  Establishes a tried and tested service tax, unlike the untested Business Net Receipts Tax proposed by an earlier commission.
