LETTER: 256 organizations are calling on the IRS to make their new free, online Direct File tool permanent.

100,000+ taxpayers successfully used the pilot program this year.

The tool is projected to save the average user $160 in fees and time each year.

Let's make it happen.

Boeing fired its CEO in 2020 after the crashes and paid him $62 million to leave.

Boeing's current CEO is leaving and just got a 45% raise to $33 million amid more safety scandals.

We have 11 years to make billionaires like Jeff Bezos pay their fair share.

Then, not only will Social Security be able to pay 100% of promised benefits into the future, but we can even EXPAND benefits!

Corporations are seeing record profits.

They can afford to charge reasonable prices, they just choose not to.

Instead, they use their Trump tax cuts to buy back their own stock and increase their executives' pay.

Enough is enough. Tax greedy, price-gouging corporations.

It's clear Direct File can transform tax filing.

It's time to make it a permanent fixture of the American tax system.

Massachusetts taxed the rich. Now they have an extra $1.8 billion to spend.

In November 2022 voters approved a 4% tax on incomes over $1 million.

The state can now use that money on free public school meals, free community college, and public transit.

Effective tax rates before and after the Trump tax law:

Verizon
Before: 21%
After: 8%

Walmart
Before: 31%
After: 17%

AT&T
Before: 13%
After: 3%

Walt Disney
Before: 26%
After: 8%

FedEx
Before: 18%
After: 1%

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.

NEW: We've joined 100+ leading organizations, including AFL-CIO ✊ AFSCME Americans For Tax Fairness American Progress ColorOfChange MoveOn Public Citizen SEIU UAW, in calling on Congress to pass bold tax reform when Trump tax law provisions expire.

What do these billionaires have in common?

Their families have all spent over $19 million trying to influence the 2024 elections in favor of Republicans—who have promised to give them more tax breaks.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.

In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

“As the president has said, tax cuts for the wealthy will stay expired on his watch.”

President Biden is right.

We don't need more tax breaks for billionaires and corporations—we need to make them pay their fair share in taxes.

THIS is how you build a fair economy.

Apple’s CEO met the yearly cap on Social Security contributions 2 HOURS into 2024.

Working people pay into Social Security all year.

The 'king of stock buybacks' just set a record for Apple's 'highest repurchasing effort ever.'

When we say tax the rich, this is what we mean.

It takes the average taxpayer 13 hours and $250 to file their taxes.

The IRS' free, online Direct File program has the potential to save taxpayers $11 billion.

That's why we proudly joined 255 other organizations calling on the IRS to make this program permanently available.

Yes. Health care is a human right.

Yes. The billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes.

Yes. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

Bottom line: We must have the guts to take on and defeat a powerful and greedy ruling class.

S&P 500 companies bought back $181B of their shares in Q1 to pump up their value.

Buybacks are projected to reach $925B this year.

In 2025, they’re estimated to hit over $1 TRILLION.

Why is this driving inequality?

It's simple: the top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
