Pamela, Here's the simple math: billionaires have made $1.3 trillion since the pandemic began, and 46 NEW billionaires emerged. Yet, 25.7 million people in our country didn't have enough to eat this winter.1 80 million lost their jobs. No matter how you add that up: it's immoral. The pandemic has turned the gap between the ultra-rich and the poorest Americans into a canyon. It doesn't have to be this way. It's time for the billionaires to pay their share. Add your name as a co-sponsor of the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act. The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would tax the richest 0.05% and it would put that money back into people. (If you have less than $50 MILLION, you don't pay anything!) It's a small tax that billionaires would hardly notice but it would make a big difference for the rest of us, creating $3 trillion in revenue. Imagine if we could invest in universal child care, tuition-free public college, roads, renewable energy, affordable housing, healthcare, and more. SIGN NOW: Become a co-sponsor of the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act so the richest Americans can pay their fair share. When the ultra-rich finally start paying their share, we all live in a better world. In Solidarity, Mike Phelan Progress America 1 https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/11/millions-of-kids-are-going-hungry-and-it-could-get-worse-this-winter.html
