Hi,

Wealth inequality in America is completely out of control. The disparities
between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of America were made even worse by
the Trump administration’s signature tax cut legislation in 2017.

The collective wealth of America’s billionaires (including Elon Musk, Jeff
Bezos, and Jamie Dimon) has grown to $5.2 TRILLION.^1 The top 1% of
American earners now control more wealth than the nation’s entire middle
class.^2 On top of it all, America’s millionaires and billionaires cheat
on their taxes to the tune of billions every year.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Pramila Jayapal just
introduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act, which would raise taxes on the
ultra-wealthy and increase IRS funding to crack down on millionaire and
billionaire tax cheats.

While American workers are struggling to pay their bills, billionaires
like Bezos and Dimon watch their riches grow.

While American workers get ready to file taxes, the ultra-wealthy are
getting ready to exploit tax loopholes.

The American tax system benefits the rich instead of the rest of us. We
need Congress to raise taxes on the rich and we need a powerful IRS to
audit wealthy tax cheats in order to fund health care, education, Social
Security, and the fight against climate change.

Upon introducing the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act, Senator Warren said, “As
President Biden says: no one thinks it’s fair that Jeff Bezos gets enough
tax loopholes that he pays at a lower rate than a public school
teacher.”^3

By ensuring that the ultra-wealthy pay what they truly owe, we can build a
livable society for working people with better health care and education,
and a stronger social safety net.
