Hi,

New data on ultra-wealthy tax cheats shows just how much millionaires and
billionaires think they’re above the law. Senate Democrats just released a
report showing that nearly 1,000 tax filers who earn more than $1 million
per year haven’t filed federal tax returns at some point between 2017 and
2020.^1

AND the 2,000 people with the highest-income who didn’t file taxes owe
over $900 million.^2 Millionaires and billionaires must be held
accountable and forced to pay the taxes they owe. But it doesn’t stop
there. We must raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and put that money towards
health care, education, Social Security, and the fight against climate
change.

hold tax cheats accountable! It’s time they pay their fair share.

Billionaires in the United States saw their total wealth grow by $5
trillion during the pandemic.^3 Yet, they only paid about an 8% federal
income tax rate, which is way below the rate the average American pays.^4

According to recent reports, the 400 wealthiest individuals in America
have more wealth than the bottom 64% of the population combined.^5 This
level of inequality is unacceptable and unsustainable in a democracy. When
billionaires’ wealth is taxed, we can put critical funds towards the
social safety net, public education, health care, infrastructure, and
critical government services.

By ensuring that the ultra-wealthy pay what they truly owe, we can build a
livable society for working people.
