Tax the Greedy Billionaires
@taxgreed
For our economy, our democracy, and our planet — it's time to tax billionaires now.
.@HBoushey & me on why we shouldnt be surprised that a massive inequality-exploding tax cut wont grow the economy. Pro (equitable!) growth tax policies abound, including taxes on ultra-rich, but #OBBBA moves in opposite direction. @equitablegrowth @MSNBC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
This Congress is on track to gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, raise electricity prices, and put millions of jobs on the chopping block — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. The GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is the largest transfer of wealth and resources in U.S. history.
“Trump and Republicans in Congress would make roughly the bottom third of Americans poorer in the short run and make the majority of Americans poorer in the longer run.” —@amprog's Bobby Kogan on the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill" and billionaire tax cuts msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
“Think of it as the VIP lounge of the tax code — exclusive, plush, and surprisingly generous.” That's not satire, that's how one private jet charter company actually celebrated that the GOP tax bill has permanently made private jets tax deductible. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Grok spewing hate speech is a prime example of how extreme wealth sows division and spreads toxicity in everyone's lives. The richest man in the world shouldn't be allowed to poison public attitudes about racism and antisemitism with no accountability. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Billionaires shouldn't exist. This tax giveaway for the ultra-wealthy shows the danger of allowing the richest Americans to bend the system to their will. Working families won't have a shot at the American dream until we break up this unprecedented concentration of wealth.
Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people. Nothing trickles down.
The so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" that the Senate just advanced is nothing more than a tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy that hurts working families. Allowing billionaires to continue hoarding wealth will kill innovation, slow growth, and keep the system rigged against us. Our…
"When families struggle to afford child care, housing or health care, they can’t fully participate in the economy as consumers, workers or entrepreneurs. [...] Furthermore, when millions of working families struggle to afford basic needs, cuts to programs that help them end up…
Our broken tax system is fueling the climate crisis. It’s time to end handouts to Big Oil billionaires — taxing them is key to breaking up corporate concentrations of power, strengthening our democracy, and weakening reliance on fossil fuels.
For too long, billionaires have rigged the rules in their favor, amassing never-before-seen concentrations of wealth and power, exceeding even the robber barons of the Gilded Age. Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is the next chapter in the story of America's growing wealth divide.
With their 'Big Beautiful Bill,' this Congress is orchestrating the unraveling of American society — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
When you kick people off SNAP, grocery stores lose customers. When you kick people off healthcare, hospitals close and workers get fired. When you raise student loan payments, consumer spending declines. The economy will tank—but hey, at least the billionaires get a tax break.
For millions of everyday Americans, the costs of funding tax breaks for billionaires will be catastrophic. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

With the Senate advancing Trump's megabill, a reminder: A modest surtax on the ultra-rich would more than pay for the cost of extending tax cuts to the middle class—without Congress having to cut a single dollar from critical programs millions rely on.
