John,
President Biden wants to raise $2 trillion by making America’s corporations pay their fair share in taxes. And he’ll use this revenue to make the largest investment in generations―in workers, communities and small businesses.
Polling shows that the American people strongly agree with President Biden’s vision.[1] Now we need Congress to get on board.
Read Frank’s email below to learn more about President Biden’s Made in America Tax Plan and then write to your members of Congress today to demand action.
Thank you for all that you do to invest in our country’s future, paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.

Tell Congress:
“We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest in our country’s future. Support President Biden’s Made in America Tax Plan to raise $2 trillion in revenue from U.S. corporations that often pay $0 in taxes. Use this revenue to support the American Jobs Plan to rebuild infrastructure, invest in green energy, create a caring economy and create millions of good-paying jobs.”

John,
In 2017, we were on defense―fighting back against a Trump-GOP tax scam that handed trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the rich and corporations. No longer.
Last week, President Biden introduced the American Jobs Plan―the first phase of his vision for investing in the U.S. It will be paid for by making corporations pay their fair share in taxes. The American Jobs Plan will invest $2.3 trillion to fix potholed roads, build more affordable homes, clean drinking water, promote domestic manufacturing, pursue a green energy future, ensure quality home care for the elderly and disabled, and more.[1]
President Biden also announced he will try to get passed the Made in America Tax Plan, which will generate about $2 trillion in new revenue. It will do this by increasing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, closing loopholes that have incentivized multinational corporations to outsource jobs and shift profits to offshore tax havens, placing a 15% minimum tax on corporations so they can’t get away with paying $0 in taxes, ending fossil fuel tax subsidies and more.[2]
We now have a President who is prepared to make the largest investment in American workers and communities in generations. And he pays for it by making corporations pay their fair share.
Write to your members of Congress today and tell them to support President Biden’s American Jobs Plan and Made in America Tax Plan. We know the American people overwhelmingly support the president’s bold initiative. Now we need to get Congress on board.
Congressional Republicans are preparing to fiercely oppose both measures, and Corporate America will join them in trying to block the proposed corporate tax increases. But, these same corporations whose profits the GOP seeks to protect are, in many cases, paying an effective tax rate of $0.
At a time when millions of people remain out of work or are working for reduced pay, it’s time for corporations to invest in the same country that has allowed them to prosper.
Click here to write to your members of Congress today and tell them to support President Biden’s American Jobs Plan and Made in America Tax Plan.
Together, we are fighting to create an economy that works for all of us―paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.
Thank you,
