Dear friend, We believe everyone should contribute their fair share to the country we all share. We deserve a tax system designed to guarantee that everyone can meet their basic needs with dignity. That means an economy where no one goes hungry, no family is priced out of a safe place to live, and no one is just one health emergency away from financial collapse. For decades, that balance has been broken. Billionaires and large corporations have continuously reshaped the tax code to minimize their obligations, while working people continue to shoulder the burden — not just through taxes, but also through rising costs for housing, healthcare, food, and transportation. The result is not simply inequality at the top; it is instability across the entire system, where millions are left without reliable access to the essentials of daily life, and abundance exists alongside deprivation. A fair system would ensure that prosperity underwrites a baseline standard of living that reaches every tier of society. With April 15 approaching, we’re sending tens of thousands of messages to Congress: it’s time to raise at least $10 trillion over the next decade by overhauling a tax code that has been tilted for far too long in favor of billionaires and large corporations — so those resources can be reinvested to allow everyone to live, work, and participate in society with stability and security.
In recent decades, the smallest group of the ultra-wealthy at the top of our economy has captured an outsized share of economic gains, while the foundation beneath has eroded. This is not sustainable. A healthy economy depends on broad-based stability — where growth translates into real improvements in people’s lives, not just larger fortunes at the top. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to adopt four common-sense priorities to restore balance and ensure shared prosperity:
These steps are about more than fairness — they are about building an economy that works in practice, where prosperity is measured not just by an ever-increasing stock market indicator, but by whether most people can actually afford to live. Thank you standing up for tax fairness and a basic standard of living for all, -Take On Wall Street.
