Tax the greedy billionaires NOW
Congress can’t let the rich run our country
$35 Trillion
The American households with wealth exceeding $50 million are collectively sitting on over $35 trillion.
$6.8 TRillion
A wealth tax on these households could raise $6.8 trillion in revenue over ten years.
The American Dream is dying in a system where unlimited wealth for the few destroys opportunity for all. It’s time for Congress to confront this dangerous concentration of wealth head-on. We can’t afford to slash the programs that working families depend on—Congress must tax the greedy billionaires now.
BY THE NUMBERS:
EXTREME WEALTH TAKES A TOLL ON ALL OF US
