Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to raise taxes on the rich and reject any tax policy that hurts good Americans so Congress won’t raise taxes on the rich. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Patriotic Millionaires helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the OLIGARCH Act, which would assess a 2%, 4%, or 6% tax on wealth exceeding median household wealth by between 1,000 and 1,000,000 times. Look at those three numbers again and understand this would not be a 100% TAX!!!!!! on wealth, as Donald Trump has said. If all these wealth tax bills have spun your head around a bit, know that telling your Congressfolk we want to tax the rich a lot harder than we do now always benefits us, regardless of what banner that desire might be flying at a particular moment.
In a similar vein, Americans for Tax Fairness helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any regressive tax policy that only makes already-rich folks richer – like cutting services any of us might need one day to avoid raising taxes on the rich, or cutting IRS funding so that rich folks can get away with more tax evasion. Or keeping the corporate tax rate so low! Americans for Tax Fairness’s tool helps you tell your Congressfolk to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to “at least 28%,” but why stop there? In the ‘50s, it was 55%, and it helped create the greatest middle class in history, so maybe say that instead!
