Jeff Bezos made $8.4 billion in just one day last week. Let’s compare that
to what working families make: the median daily earnings in this country
is around $150.

But it’s not just Bezos making astronomically more than workers. It’s
Bloomberg, Buffett, and the billionaires who run the biggest corporations.

So, I must say it again: It’s time to tax the rich. That’s why my friend
Elizabeth Warren and I introduced a wealth tax that would tax those with
net worths over $50 million — that’s the top 0.05% of households — so the
ultra-wealthy finally start paying their fair share.



[ [link removed] ]This is a fight for economic justice, for leveling the playing field,
and for creating a country that puts working people first. It’s a fight I
need you all in for, because we know powerful interests will be fighting
this modest tax increase on the richest Americans. Donate
$3 today to help us pass the wealth tax.

This pandemic crushed working people. One in seven families didn’t have
enough to eat. More than eight million people were pushed into poverty.
Historic levels of job loss have also led to millions of people losing
their health care — during a public health crisis! All while Jeff Bezos
and other billionaires continued to grow their fortune.

Last year, Bezos paid less than 1% in federal taxes — compare that to the
average household paying 14% in federal taxes. That’s why our wealth tax
is so important. While leveling the playing field, taxing the rich would
also bring in three trillion dollars. Just imagine what we could do with
three trillion dollars. That’s COVID relief, health care, infrastructure,
child care, education, fighting climate change, affordable housing, and so
much more.

[ [link removed] ]We cannot wait any longer. Join me in this fight to tax the rich and
fund the programs working people need with a $3 donation
right now. Your donation helps us fight back against the corporate
interests trying to stop our Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act.

In solidarity,

Pramila
