Corporate America is using inflation as an excuse to keep getting richer―price gouging the American people―while fearmongering about the Build Back Better Act.
John,
What’s driving inflation? Among other things, corporate greed.[1]
Lobbyists from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to Big Pharma are using consumer fear to try and kill the Build Back Better Act.
We’re fighting back against these corporate-driven myths about inflation, reminding the American people that the Build Back Better Act will help make big expenses for working families affordable on everything from healthcare to prescription drugs to childcare and housing. And it’s paid for by making the rich and corporations begin to pay their fair share in taxes.
Together, let’s ensure that grassroots pressure defeats Wall Street greed.
Thank you,

John,
Corporate America (and their Republican allies in Congress) are using inflation as an excuse to keep getting richer―price gouging the American people―while fearmongering that President Biden’s Build Back Better Act is the cause of recent price spikes. Just look at this recent headline:
We’re fighting back, letting the American people know that the Build Back Better Act will help them afford costly expenses―healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, housing, education―by finally making big corporations (and the rich) begin paying their fair share of taxes.[1]
Because the Build Back Better Act investments will be spent slowly over 10 years―and because they’re fully paid for by making the rich and corporations pay a fairer share of taxes―this critical legislation will not spur inflation.
Also, economic forecaster Mark Zandi says the bill will “take the edge off of inflation,”[2] while 15 Nobel Prize winning economists say it “will ease long-term inflationary pressures.”[3]
Together, let’s pass President Biden’s agenda while fighting back against corporate greed.
Thank you,
Frank Clemente
