John,
President Biden’s infrastructure plan is hitting potholes in Congress, but we have a plan to fix that.
Republicans demand that any new spending be paid for, but they refuse to roll back even the worst aspects of the Trump-GOP tax scam. Instead, Republicans prefer tax proposals like increasing the gas tax, which is nothing more than a tax on working people.
Corporate Democrats are also squeamish about raising taxes on the rich and corporations―even as 55 of America’s biggest corporations paid no federal income taxes in 2020 and as the wealth of 650 billionaires rose by 55% during the pandemic.
The good news is that we have the American people on our side!
While a slim majority, 52% of voters, support President Biden’s infrastructure plan, a whopping 62% support the plan when they learn it is funded by raising taxes on the rich and corporations, according to a new ATF poll.[1][2]
Donate today to remind politicians that there is no political risk in paying for President Biden’s infrastructure plan by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share. The American people overwhelmingly agree!
President Biden has proposed raising 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.
While bipartisan talks may sound nice, they’re a dead end because Republicans refuse to budge even one inch on taxes. It’s time for Democrats to stop kowtowing to unreasonable demands. We need action!
Donate today to tell Congress that nearly 7 in 10 voters demand the rich and corporations pay their fair share―and when they do, we can invest in everything from jobs and infrastructure to a care economy.

Thank you for fighting for a tax system and economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
