Did you see this headline?
A new report shows that, in 2022, the wealthiest 1% of Americans avoided paying taxes on $21.2 trillion in financial gains — while paying an average effective tax rate of 8.2%.1 The average American family paid an average of 13.6%. 😱
Now, after a year of revelations that some Supreme Court Justices accepted lavish gifts from billionaires, SCOTUS is about to decide whether Congress and the President have the power to tax these untaxed profits for the ultra-rich at all.
Since her first day on the campaign trail, Alexandria has been demanding that the rich pay their fair share. As we’ve watched SCOTUS devolve into an ethics crisis, it’s never been more clear: extreme wealth in the hands of very few people is simply not good for society.

Thank you,
