John,

Wealth inequality is one of the defining issues of our time, with the gap
between the 99% and the 1% growing so much over the past few years that
inequality is now worse in 2023 than it was during the Gilded Age — an era
literally named for the disparity between mass poverty and the excesses of
concentrated wealth.

The top 0.1% hold more than 20% of the wealth in this country. That
outsize concentration among a few billionaires has meant they also have
outsize impact on our politics—buying elections and the politicians who
are willing to do their corporate bidding. It’s time that we the people
take action.

That’s why Summer joined with other progressives like Jamaal Bowman,
Rashida Tlaib, and Barbara Lee to introduce the OLIGARCH Act, which would
levy a wealth tax on the wealthiest of individuals so they pay their fair
share.

This tax would fall exclusively on the exorbitantly wealthy — in fact, the
highest bracket of it would only apply to about two taxpayers.

But the impacts would be huge — on our social safety net, our government
finances, and the fundamental fairness of our politics. It’s no
coincidence that we’ve seen blatant corruption in places like the Supreme
Court while this inequality has skyrocketed, and this is a step toward
making the system work for everybody again.

grassroots support to stay there. Can you chip in any amount right away?

Thanks for all you do,

Team Summer Lee
