John,
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a longtime champion for working families, recently tweeted, “We can invest in a future for all American families -- including universal child care and universal pre-K -- with a small wealth tax on fortunes above $50 million, a Real Corporate Profits Tax, and a boost to IRS enforcement. I'm in that fight all the way.”
Warren has never shied away from taking on big money interests, from Wall Street to Amazon's Jeff Bezos. She's dedicated her career to creating a fairer country for all Americans. It's no wonder she's made so many powerful enemies across the aisle.
Republicans in both the House and the Senate are doing everything they can to block a corporate tax hike or wealth tax -- even though a majority of Americans support it. For years, they've used their power in Congress to bail out corporations and help the rich get richer while working families struggle to keep food on the table.
The fact is, Biden's most ambitious plans -- from the American Jobs Plan to the American Families Plan -- will require making the top 1% pay their fair share. But as we work to pass these legislative priorities, we need to know if engaged Democrats are on the same page with Biden and Warren.
John, let us know your thoughts:
Do you think corporations and the ultra-wealthy are paying their fair share ?
Progressives like Warren are trying to radically transform what we think is possible in this country with the help of the Biden administration -- because it's past time we act.
Thank you for sharing your insights on how we should best move forward.
A Woman's Place
