From Americans for Tax Fairness (https://americansfortaxfairness.org/):
Senators are voting this week on a budget framework that will determine how big and bold we can be this year in building an economy that works for everyone. We need to make sure this budget meets our needs―and that it’s paid for by the rich and corporations finally paying their fair share in taxes.
Together, we’re demanding the budget ease the burden of high costs on working families and build an economy that rewards work, not wealth.
Write to our U.S. senators today at https://actionnetwork.org/letters/write-to-your-senators-demand-a-build-back-better-budget-that-invests-in-working-familiespaid-for-by-the-rich-and-corporations to demand they vote YES on a budget that invests in jobs and the environment, makes healthcare and in-home eldercare more affordable, lowers the cost of prescription drugs, expands the Child Tax Credit, invests in childcare and education, and more―all paid for by finally making the rich and corporations pay their fair share!
President Biden’s Build Back Better plan before the Senate will invest $3.5 trillion in services for working people, and is largely paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. No one making less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes.
This means raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%; treating wealth like work so the super-rich don’t pay a lower tax rate on their investments than workers pay on their wages; closing loopholes to stop corporations from outsourcing jobs and shifting profits to offshore tax havens; and cracking down on tax cheats through increased IRS enforcement.
We have a once in a generation opportunity to invest in working families and unrig our tax code to ensure the rich and corporations start paying their fair share. Take action today!
