Our tax system is deeply broken. Every day we hear about people so rich they can build their own space fleet, but don’t pay anything in taxes. It’s not fair. Billionaires got 62% richer during the pandemic by profiting off of suffering. And where does that money come from ? From us ! Our wealth is distributed upwards. But we don’t have to resign ourselves to thinking, “that’s how things are.” Things don’t have to be that way if we change them by holding our elected officials accountable and demanding a more equitable tax system. The rich don’t get their income from a paycheck, they get it from growing the value of their investments. If we don’t tax their wealth, they will never have to pay their fair share, making us pay their share instead. It’s time to unrig our tax system, and that starts by taxing the extreme wealth gains of America’s 700+ billionaires. It would be a moral outrage if these extremely fortunate few did not pay more in taxes under the Build Back Better legislation ! Keep fighting, Mayra Souza, Daily Kos. | |||||
