A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************
This pandemic has brought hardships upon every person in this country.
Ever since mid-March, 50 million people lost their jobs, 30 million went
hungry and 12 million lost their employer-provided health insurance. And,
ever since mid-March, 650 billionaires have seen their wealth increase by
$845 billion!^1

This vast expansion of wealth inequality should not be happening. Our
system needs to be drastically reformed so it works for everyone.

pay their fair share in taxes. >>

Just recently, the American people learned how little President Donald
Trump, an elitist ultra-wealthy billionaire, paid in taxes. The tactics
exploited by him, so that he only paid $750 for taxes in 2016 and 2017,
proves that our tax code can be easily manipulated with special breaks
reserved for the rich and made unavailable to ordinary citizens like us.

What’s the solution to this problem? A wealth tax that would annually tax
the net worth of the billionaires and multi-millionaires. One version of
this solution would assess a 3% tax on wealth between $50 million and $1
billion, and a 6% tax on wealth above $1 billion. America and our
dwindling economy could reap up to $2 trillion while only the richest 0.1%
would be subjected to this wealth tax.

end wealth inequality. >>

We can’t wait any longer to let Congress hear our voices because of the
widening economic divide under the failed leadership of corrupt
billionaire President Donald Trump.

The People are now counting on us.

In solidarity,

Amol, PFAW
