John,
When billionaires and corporations buy elections, they’re rigging our tax system and our economy for economic gain. But that’s not all.
They’re also enacting a right-wing agenda that takes away our rights on everything from abortion access to democracy to the future of Social Security.
Coca-Cola has donated $2.6 million to anti-abortion candidates and organizations.[1]
Between 2016 and 2020, 134 billionaires donated nearly $236 million to Donald Trump and his super PACs.[2] These same billionaires are supporting insurrectionist candidates in 2022, continuing to fuel Trump’s “Big Lie”―destabilizing our democracy.
PayPal and Facebook billionaire Peter Thiel has spent nearly $30 million bankrolling two right-wing U.S. Senate candidates: J.D. Vance, who won the Ohio Republican primary, and Blake Masters in Arizona (his primary is in August), who wants to privatize Social Security.[3][4]
What can we do? Hit them where it matters most: their pocketbooks!
We’re leading the national movement demanding Congress enact a Billionaires Income Tax to fix our broken tax code and finally make billionaires pay taxes every year, not just when they feel like it.
We’re fighting for a Corporate Profits Minimum Tax of 15%, so tax dodging corporations don’t get away with paying little to nothing in federal income taxes each year on their billions of dollars in profits.
This 4th of July weekend, let’s demand millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations do their patriotic duty and pay their taxes! Donate $4 to Americans for Tax Fairness today to unrig our tax code and hold wealthy and corporate tax cheats accountable.
Together, we’re fighting for an America that includes all of us.
Thank you for being a critical part of our movement for change.
