Your Senator Needs To Know You Support Tax Justice
The Senate passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill yesterday that will bring much-needed investments in roads, rails, bridges, ports, high-speed internet, clean drinking water, and public transit. It will secure our power supply, electrify school buses, and build electric vehicle charging stations across the country to help combat the climate crisis. It will do all of this while creating millions of good-paying jobs.
What the bill fails to do is ask large corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans to pay their fair share of taxes. It fails to end special treatment of millionaire's investment income. The bill even excluded funding for the IRS to ensure tax cheats and tax-dodging corporations pay what they already owe.
This failure is not final, but it requires you do one simple thing. Join us and Americans for Tax Fairness in calling your Senator today at 1-888-894-6720.
In the coming weeks, the Senate will consider $3.5 trillion in further investments over 10 years to green our economy, care for children and the elderly, expand access to healthcare and affordable housing, and fix a broken immigration system, among other measures, through the process of budget reconciliation. Your Senator needs to hear that you believe those who have gained the most in recent decades must be asked to pay their fair share to fund these critical priorities.
It's that simple:
Dial the Americans for Tax Fairness hotline at 1-888-894-6720 to call your Senators.
Tell the Senators your name, your city of residence, and what investment would mean the most to you, your family, and your community.
Urge the Senators to pay for the $3.5 trillion in investments by requiring the wealthiest 1% and profitable corporations to pay their fair share of taxes.
55 of America's largest companies paid $0 in federal income taxes on $40 billion in 2020 profits. Billionaires got 60% ($1.8 trillion) richer during the pandemic. Requiring the wealthiest 1% and profitable corporations to pay their fair share of taxes is not just a matter of funding these priorities. It is a matter of economic fairness.
So, call your Senator today at 1-888-894-6720 and demand tax justice!
