Urgent: Fully fund IRS

jeudi 4 janvier 2024 à 21:18

US citizens: call on Congress to keep making the ultra-wealthy pay their taxes -- by fully funding the IRS.

This is a crucial first step towards making the rich "pay their fair share", but to achieve that requires much more than making them obey existing tax law. We need to increase taxes for the rich: to reduce their ability to shelter wealth from taxes, and higher tax brackets for very high incomes. The highest bracket should be over 90%, as it was in the 40s and 50s.

Since they have accumulated wealth to the point of distorting our justice and democracy, we also need to tax great wealth.
