John,
In just a few hours, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face off in their first debate of this pivotal election. With only 8 weeks left until Election Day, the stakes couldn't be higher for American taxpayers.
Will they talk about taxes? We sure hope so. Because tax policy is vital to creating a fair system and funding services that support families.
The Biden-Harris administration has pledged not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. They're focused on making sure the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share just like the rest of us do.
As our Executive Director David Kass explained on C-SPAN last week, "That $400,000 pledge is a very important one. Anyone making less than $400,000 a year, their taxes are not going to go up, not even a penny."[1]
On the other hand, Trump and his allies have put forth plans to further slash taxes for billionaires and big corporations while raising taxes on working families. Their "Project 2025" plan would hike taxes on millions of households making under $168,000 a year. As David pointed out, "[Around taxes], the biggest thing Project 2025 would do is raise taxes on the middle class and cut taxes on the wealthy."
At Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund, we're working tirelessly to educate voters about the importance of fair tax policy. But we need your help to amplify our message.
Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help us fight for fair tax policies and educate voters in these crucial final weeks of the election?
We're fighting tooth and nail against right-wing tax proposals. We're pushing back against attempts to slash corporate tax rates, fighting to preserve and expand crucial programs like the Child Tax Credit, and advocating for a more progressive tax system that uplifts working families. We're working hard to expose the truth about how Project 2025 would devastate working families while further enriching the wealthy elite.
That’s why we're mobilizing a nationwide movement to demand that big corporations and billionaires finally pay their fair share.
We need a tax system that works for everyone, not one that further enriches the wealthy at the expense of working families. Help us make these crucial differences clear.
We can't win this fight without you. Will you chip in $5 or more right now to fuel our campaign for tax justice?
