Sign the petition: The rich must pay their fair share

Have you always suspected that the billionaires have rigged it all so they win and the rest of us lose?

You're right.

Just check out what's happened to the tax rate on the top 400 wealthiest Americans over time:

Since the Republican tax cuts of 2017, the wealthiest Americans now pay a lower tax rate than you and your family! It's obscene. We need Congress to take action and shut down these loopholes.

America's ultra-wealthy became $401 billion richer between 2014 and 2018. It's a trend that's been shooting upward for years, with no end in sight, while wages for everyone else stagnate and health care costs eat away at savings.

It's time the wealthy pay their fair share.

Sign my petition. Tell Congress to take action on this problem immediately.
