John,
Our campaign to stop the extension of the Trump tax scam is off to an incredible start. In just one week, we've flooded the House Ways & Means Committee with more than 40,000 comments demanding they reject an extension of the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and raise the tax rate on large profitable corporations.
This is a massive show of force that's putting real pressure on Congress. But we can't let up now.
Remember what's at stake here: The 2017 Trump-GOP tax cuts slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, costing an estimated $1.3 trillion in lost revenue over 10 years.[1] It cut the top individual tax rate from 39.6% to 37%, allowing a household with an income of $2.5 million to get a $64,000 tax cut annually.[2]
That's why we need to keep the pressure on. We're aiming to double our impact and send 60,000 comments by the end of next week. But we can't do it without your support.
Will you chip in $5 or more today to keep the pressure on Congress to reject an extension of the Trump tax scam and make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share?
Our grassroots pressure is working. Members of Congress are taking notice of the flood of comments pouring into the House Ways & Means Committee.
But the corporate lobbyists pushing for these tax giveaways aren't giving up. They're working overtime to protect their massive tax windfall, as industries from Big Oil to Big Pharma to Wall Street fight to keep their tax rates at ridiculously low levels.
We're not backing down. With your support, we're taking on these powerful corporate and Big Money interests head-on, exposing their greed, and mobilizing grassroots activists to demand a fair tax system that works for all of us, not just the wealthy elite.
With your support, we can keep the pressure on Congress. Help double our impact and send 80,000 comments to the House Ways & Means Committee to stop this tax giveaway for the wealthy and corporations.
Donate $5 or whatever you can afford to fuel our fight against the extension of the Trump tax scam.
