John,

Momentum is gaining for our push to include the Billionaires Income Tax in
the Build Back Better Act.

Even though it only targets the top 0.0002 percent, the Billionaires
Income Tax would raise hundreds of billions of dollars over the next
decade, paving the way for groundbreaking investments in universal
preschool, Medicare expansion, and paid family and medical leave.

[ [link removed] ]So please call on your members of Congress to include the Billionaires
Income Tax in the Build Back Better Act now.

John,

Earlier this week, Elon Musk mocked Jeff Bezos tweeting a 2nd place symbol
at him as he once again became the richest man in the world by well over
$30 billion.

It is outrageous that one man is worth over $200 billion dollars.

What’s even more outrageous is that they joke about it while paying
essentially no taxes on their wealth.

America now has more billionaires than at any time in history, all while
most Americans are struggling to make ends meet. With such staggering
inequality, we must create a system in which economic gains are more
widely spread out.

If we work to ensure that the wealth of billionaires is used to invest in
healthcare, education, and infrastructure, we can create a more equal
society.

And the billionaire class is terrified of the idea that they might have to
pay more in taxes because when they look at the widespread support of the
Build Back Better Act, they can see that WE are going to make it happen.

[ [link removed] ]So please join DFA today and write to your U.S. Senators and
Representative today and call on them to include the Billionaires Income
Tax in the Build Back Better Act to ensure billionaires begin paying their
fair share toward critical investments in our future.

The letter-writing tool is really simple and easy to use and we have
suggested text that we also encourage you to edit in your own words to
have an even greater impact.

Billionaires have too much power in America and with millions of children
living below the poverty line and families across the country forced to
choose between putting food on the table or paying their bills, we must
ensure that they begin paying their fair share towards critical
investments in our future.

Critical investments like free child care for children under the age of
six, universal preschool, and expanding Medicare to cover dental, hearing,
and vision.

Now, with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden proposing the
Billionaires Income Tax, we could raise hundreds of billions of dollars
over the next decade, to cover those critical investments and others.

[ [link removed] ]So please, write a short letter to your U.S. Senators and
Representative and urge them to make billionaires pay their fair share
toward critical investments in our future by including the Billionaires
Income Tax in Build Back Better Act.

We’re in this together, thank you for taking on the billionaires.
