John,
We have a choice: Protect the Trump tax cuts for the rich and corporations or Build Back Better by making the rich and tax dodging corporations pay their fair share. That’s the message we’re sending to Congress in our new digital ad.
As the Senate prepares its first critical vote on the budget reconciliation package next week, we need to run this new ad immediately, demanding investments in everything from jobs to early education to healthcare to housing and more.
Can you help bring our latest online ad to millions of people and create massive support for President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, which invests in our future―paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share? Donate $5 today!
The Build Back Better plan will help ease the burden of high costs on working families and build an economy that rewards work, not wealth by making healthcare more affordable, lowering prescription drug costs, expanding access to high-quality, affordable long-term care for the elderly, expanding the Child Tax Credit, and making childcare and community college more affordable. It will be paid for by making corporations, millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share. No one making less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes.
While Republicans oppose these new investments for working families, and some moderate Democrats want to cut these needed investments in half, our polling shows this is what the American people want—especially when it is paid for by the rich and corporations. This includes raising the corporate tax rate to 28%; treating wealth like work so the super-rich don’t pay a lower tax rate on their investments than workers pay on their wages; closing loopholes to stop corporations from outsourcing jobs and shifting profits to offshore tax havens; and cracking down on tax cheats through increased IRS enforcement.
Our latest report on billionaire wealth growth shows that the nation’s 713 billionaires have seen their wealth grow by an astounding $1.8 trillion, or 60%, since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.[1]
That’s why we’re making the month of August “Tax Billionaires to Build Back Better Month” to demand Congress invest in working people―paid for by the richest 1%.
