Friend, the wealthy and corporations have gotten away with not paying their fair share of taxes for far too long: 55 profitable corporations paid ZERO dollars in taxes last year. U.S. billionaires increased their wealth by $1,800,000,000,000 during the pandemic. Meanwhile, services like health care, education, and housing are desperately in need of funding. We need a fairer tax system that closes loopholes and doesn’t give advantages to the rich and big corporations. If you agree, sign your name on our petition to urge Congress to fix our tax system right away. Right now, Congress is finalizing the details of the budget reconciliation bills that will implement President Joe Biden’s plan to Build Back Better with investments in jobs and families. Your members of Congress have the opportunity to reshape our tax system in this bill so that it works for everyone, not just the wealthy and corporations: - Congress needs to raise the corporate tax rate and stop offshore corporate tax dodging
- Congress needs to increase taxes on the rich, refund the IRS to crack down on tax cheats, and tax wealth like work
- Congress needs to strengthen the federal tax code by taxing Wall Street trades and putting in place other progressive taxes
Big corporations spend millions of dollars on lobbyists so that they can continue taking advantage of the tax system and stop changes like these that create a more level playing field. The only way we fight back and create a fairer tax system that helps working families is by showing Congress that there is overwhelming grassroots support for tax fairness. We need 250 more signatures from your state today in order to send a message that Congress can’t ignore. Please, add your name right away >> Thanks for fighting for tax fairness, George
