Dear John,
One of the biggest cases currently before the Supreme Court is called Moore v. U.S., and it could hand a massive $350 billion tax windfall to corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Goldman Sachs.
And we’ve now learned that Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts personally own stock in 17 of the corporations that stand to benefit if the Court rules in their favor.
In addition, Justice Clarence Thomas has received tens of millions of dollars’ worth of gifts and luxury vacations from billionaires who have major stakes in the case, and Justice Neil Gorsuch has close ties to billionaire Philip Anschutz, who could also collect a major windfall.
Friends, conflicts of interest don’t get much more obvious than this. Yet these justices have so far refused to recuse themselves from the case.
Inequality Media has launched a public education campaign across all of our social media platforms to educate the public, explain what is happening, and put the Court on notice.
Will you make a donation to help get the truth out and demand these justices recuse themselves in Moore v. U.S.?
In Moore v. U.S., the Supreme Court is being asked to give a $350 billion tax windfall to the nation’s wealthiest corporations and individuals by declaring a key provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act unconstitutional.
But the potential implications of the case go much, much further. The Court could block Congress from ever fairly taxing corporations and the ultra-wealthy and deprive the government of trillions of dollars of revenue from over a dozen existing tax laws.
As one tax expert put it, “The federal income tax could become largely voluntary for multinational corporations and sophisticated investors, and mandatory only for everyday Americans.”
No Supreme Court case in recent history has had the extreme potential economic impact that Moore v. U.S. does, limiting opportunities for social change for generations to come. It should not be decided by justices with such clear conflicts of interest – but they won’t recuse without a major public backlash, and that’s where we come in.
Will you make a donation to help get the truth out and power our campaign to demand these justices recuse themselves immediately?
Thank you for joining the fight for truth,
Robert Reich
