Sign if you agree: A billionaires minimum tax is reasonable & morally necessary

Friend, [sign the petition to Congress: We need a billionaires minimum tax, now more than ever.]( [Sign the petition]( Wealth inequality rose to obscene levels during the COVID pandemic. Over the last two years, America’s 700 billionaires [grew their fortunes by $1.7 trillion](. They are now worth a collective $4.6 trillion―one-third more than the bottom half of American society. With working families struggling to afford health care, child care and housing, and our climate in dire need of immediate investments, it is unconscionable that the richest Americans avoid paying their fair share. We need a minimum tax on billionaires, now more than ever. [Sign the petition: We need a billionaires minimum tax, now more than ever.]( [Sign the petition]( On March 28, President Biden [proposed in his budget]( a 20% minimum income tax on all households worth over $100 million. Because so many of the ultra wealthy live on their stocks rather than a paycheck, the tax would cover unrealized gains on their investments. The administration said it would apply to the wealthiest 0.01% of U.S. households, with billionaires accounting for over half of the $360 billion it is projected to raise over 10 years. It is fundamentally fair and reasonable, but it won't be easy. Billionaires have had it good for way too long, and we must put pressure on Congress to make this a reality.
