Petition to Congress: We urge you to support the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act.
|
Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act, a bill to end Trump's handouts to the ultra-rich and raise taxes on households worth more than $50 million.
Wealth inequality is completely out of control. Trump's 2017 tax law and his disastrous big ugly budget cut taxes for the rich and big corporations, making the disparities between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of America even worse. In the first year of Trump's second term, billionaires got $1.5 TRILLION richer.
"While multi-millionaires and billionaires are getting richer and richer, families are getting squeezed by a rigged economy," Sen. Warren said. Congress must stand with their constituents to tax the rich and fund government services.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to TAX THE RICH! Pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act.
The estimated $6.2 trillion in revenue from the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act could pay for policies that reduce child poverty, lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, make childcare affordable, establish universal paid family leave, and much more.
Senator Bernie Sanders said, “We can no longer tolerate a corrupt tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower tax rate than the average worker."
Corporate greed and Trump's policies have jacked up costs for everyday Americans, while the rich cash in. It's time for our lawmakers to stand up for working people, halt the widening wealth gap in America, and make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act now.
