On Tax Day, several U.S. lawmakers including Representatives Ilhan Omar, Jan Schakowsky, Lauren Underwood, Pramila Jayapal, and Cori Bush criticized the current tax system for its disparity in tax rates between average Americans and billionaires and large corporations. They emphasized the need for a fairer tax system that ensures the wealthy and profitable corporations contribute their fair share. The lawmakers, along with HouseDemocrats and POTUS, supported initiatives to reform the tax system, focusing on taxing the rich more heavily.
Today is #TaxDay and once again, many people will pay more taxes than giant, billion-dollar corporations. It's long past time we make billionaires pay their fair share, & end the inequality in our tax system. #TaxTheRich
News you can use on Tax Day: you are likely paying a higher tax rate than some billionaires! The U.S. needs major changes to our unfair tax system. @POTUS and Democrats are working to finally level the playing field and invest in our communities. https://t.co/TcBrB8gMlK
Millions of Americans are paying their fair share today on #TaxDay, while billionaires and big corporations get away with paying almost nothing. @HouseDemocrats and @POTUS are fighting for a tax code that rewards work, not wealth.
Happy Tax Day to everyone except the billionaires and corporations who don't pay their fair share! As the ultra-wealthy enjoy their mega yachts and private jets, every day Americans are left struggling to provide for their families. It’s simple, we must #TaxTheRich!
You probably paid a higher tax rate than the wealthiest billionaires and the most profitable corporations. That's not right. Let’s finally tax the rich and ensure they pay their fair share. #TaxDay
