Mark Ruffalo supports ‘Tax the Rich’ movement
Mark Ruffalo, who has been a key part of Hollywood for a long time now, lent his voice to the Tax the Rich movement, urging Governor Kathy Hochul to tax billionaires and corporations to make New York more affordable for the general public.
In an Instagram video posted on his account, the Hulk actor explained in detail why this was a necessity. In the caption of the video, Ruffalo wrote, “@govkathyhochul must Tax The Rich for a New York we can afford. They can handle it, trust me.”
He said in the video, “In New York, rent is crushing people. Childcare now costs over USD 20,000 a year on average. Trump’s policies keep making billionaires richer. Well, working families in dirt cuts to essential services. So last year, over a million New Yorkers came together to vote for Mayor Mamdani’s affordability agenda. So who’s getting in the way?”

The actor continued, “Governor Kathy Hochul has a choice to make. You protect working families, and tax the rich, or make Trump’s cuts worse by forcing everyday people to pay more. 60% of New Yorkers, like me, agree that we should tax billionaires and corporations to fund childcare, housing, and transit. Working people shouldn’t be the ones always stuck with the bill.”
He concluded the video, saying, “This Wednesday, February 25th, thousands of folks are going to Albany to send Kathy Hochul one clear message: Tax the Rich for New York that we can all afford.They can handle it. Trust me.”
Many fans praised the actor for taking this stand. This is not the first time that Mark Ruffalo has taken a stand for what he feels is right. He was also among the actors who spoke out against the killing of Renee Goode.
