James, the Trump tax cuts passed in 2017 have given giant tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. Now, the GOP wants to make even deeper cuts so wealthy CEOs and mega-corporations can avoid paying anything close to their fair share of taxes.
This comes at a time when the richest 1% of Americans have increased their wealth by $15 TRILLION since the start of the pandemic. As Bernie says, “While the rich become much richer, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.”
Elon Musk is one of those billionaires getting much richer. Tesla just approved Musk’s pay package of $48 billion. Meanwhile, Congress hasn’t raised the federal minimum wage since 2009. It’s insane that GOP lawmakers want to give away more tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy while giving away OUR tax dollars in subsidies to some of the richest companies on earth. This must change if we’re going to fight wealth inequality and protect the social safety net.
Add your name: Fight back against efforts to extend the Trump tax cuts for Elon Musk, billionaires, and giant corporations. Tax the rich and ensure they pay their fair share!
The power held by wealthy CEOs and billionaires is a threat to our democracy and our most important social programs: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, and more.
As Bernie said recently, “We must have the guts to take on and defeat a powerful and greedy ruling class.”
Republicans and the ultra-wealthy are ready to pounce if Trump wins. Their path to more tax cuts will be clear — as Trump has promised to do their bidding, especially for Big Oil corporations. He already asked fossil fuel companies and CEOs for a billion dollars for his campaign to help him retake the White House and continue their deadly, dirty business model with more tax breaks and corporate welfare.
Wealth inequality is skyrocketing, and working people are just trying to scrape by while health insurance executives, Wall Street high rollers, and fossil fuel CEOs rake in massive profits. We need our movement to stand with Bernie and take on the billionaire class.
Add your name: Tax Elon Musk, tax the rich, and tax big corporations! End Trump’s tax cuts and force the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
