Today, Americans are filing their taxes while the ultra-wealthy get yet another free pass — and we have had ENOUGH.
Billionaires in America now collectively hold $8.2 trillion in wealth, yet pay a lower tax rate than regular working people like you and me. Musk paid 3.3% effective tax. The average truck driver? 8.4%. Jeff Bezos paid less than 1%. The average firefighter paid 8.7%.
Bernie has introduced a bill to establish a 5% annual wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Just 0.000003% of the population would pay it, but it would raise $4.4 TRILLION over ten years – enough to end homelessness and the housing crisis, expand Medicare, pay for universal child care, and more.
Let’s come together on Tax Day to demand Congress pass Bernie’s Billionaire Wealth Tax, NOW. Will you add your name to stand with Bernie and tell Congress to TAX THE RICH?
One man, Elon Musk, is now worth $805 billion. That’s more wealth than the bottom 53% of all American households COMBINED. Meanwhile, last year, America’s 938 billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer.
It’s not just a few outliers. It’s a system rigged against working families. Right now, 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to cover the basics: rent, health care, groceries, child care, and prescription drugs – all while billionaires and CEOs dodge taxes and get richer by the minute.
If we don’t speak out, Congress will just continue to listen to billionaire lobbyists, not struggling families. But the American people have had enough – and THIS is our moment to demand a system that works for the many, not the few.
Add your name now and all our messages will be delivered straight to Congress. Then, on May 1, Our Revolution will join the May Day Strong coalition in a nationwide Economic Blackout to demonstrate our power and our resistance by REFUSING to do business as usual: No School. No Work. No Shopping.
NOW is the time to show that we will not allow the rich to keep getting richer off the backs of the working class. Add your name now to stand with Bernie and demand Congress TAX THE RICH!
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
