John,
We know we can invest in our future when the wealthy start paying their fair share in taxes. But, even as the American people are on our side, billionaires are fighting back, buying off members of Congress and Supreme Court justices alike.
This past week we learned about millions of dollars in unreported gifts to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from billionaires including GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow, former top executive at Berkshire Hathaway, David Sokol; oil baron Paul “Tony” Noelly; and billionaire businessman H. Wayne Huizenga.[1]
And now, Justice Thomas is set to hear arguments in a new case that could determine whether or not we’re able to tax the unrealized wealth gains of millionaires and billionaires.
We’re fighting for a tax system that ensures the wealthy and corporations are paying their fair share. Because when they do, we can invest in critical programs and services for people with low incomes and marginalized communities from health care to education to nutrition to housing and more.
Donate today to fight for policies that ensure millionaires, billionaires, and corporations are paying their fair share in taxes, so we can invest in families, communities, and our future.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
Together, we’re fighting for policies that support those most in need while ensuring the wealthy and corporations are paying their fair share.
Thank you,
Deborah Weinstein
