Friend, [sign the petition: Tax the rich!]( [SIGN THE PETITION](
Recent [reports]( indicate that U.S. billionaires have not only doubled their wealth since the 2017 tax overhaul but now control an outsized portion of the nation's wealth. Specifically, their collective fortune has surged to $5.8 trillion, representing 1 in every 25 dollars of American wealth. Meanwhile, tax policies continue to overwhelmingly favor the wealthiest Americans, allowing them to pay shockingly low tax rates on their vast incomes. Persistent racial and economic disparities are further evidence of the widening wealth gap. Families of color and those without college degrees continue to lag significantly behind their white and higher-educated counterparts, underscoring systemic inequality that our tax system has exacerbated rather than mitigated. Congress must stop the continual tax cuts and loopholes for the wealthy, and pass legislation to ensure a fairer tax system where the ultra-rich pay their fair share.

Thanks for all you do,
Mayra Souza, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding that billionaires pay their fair share: ---------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, our current tax system allows billionaires to exploit loopholes, avoiding their fair share of taxes while working Americans bear the financial burden. [Sign the petition: Tax the rich!]( [SIGN THE PETITION](
To address these issues, Senator Ron Wyden has introduced the [Billionaire Income Tax Act](, which targets the wealthiest Americans who exploit the "buy, borrow, die" loophole to avoid paying their fair share. Additionally, Representatives Steve Cohen and Don Beyer have reintroduced the [Billionaire Minimum Income Tax Act](, which proposes a 25% minimum tax rate on households worth more than $100 million. This legislation would be enforced through rigorous audits and penalties for non-compliance, ensuring that the ultra-wealthy pay a base level of taxes comparable to other Americans. Our tax code should reflect the principles of fairness and equity upon which our nation was founded. By implementing these measures, we can begin to correct the imbalances in our tax system. This, in turn, will provide much-needed funding for necessary public services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, and reduce the burden on middle and working-class Americans.
