We're living paycheck-to-paycheck. Groceries, housing, and healthcare are getting more expensive.

The economy is losing hundreds of thousands of jobs.

When are we going to wake up and realize that trickle-down economics has ruined everything? Tax the rich.

Imagine how much better our country would be if we prioritized the needs of the people over the whims of the ultra-wealthy.

Trump allegedly broke the law building his billionaire ballroom by beginning construction without filing plans with the National Capital Planning Commission.

Now he's building an underground bunker also sponsored by billionaires.

Tax the rich.

If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices.

But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.

Trump has "appeared to be trying to side-step a court order by reclassifying the ballroom plans as vital for national security."

Now he's building an underground bunker.

All brought to us by corrupt billionaires.

Working class advocates call for a CT Billionaire’s Tax, raising debate amid rising costs nationwide The Tax Day press conference raised debate over who foots the bill to support working families.

“If everyone paid their fair share, including the biggest corporations and the wealthiest individuals, we could invest in a foundation that small businesses depend on: healthy workers, strong communities, and customers who can afford to spend.”

Taxing billionaires would raise TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS for education, healthcare, childcare, and lowering costs.

And America's billionaires would still be the richest on the planet.

It's time we end trickle-down. Tax the rich.

Does anyone really think that billionaires and corporations need tax breaks more than we need healthcare, housing, childcare, education, and food assistance?

There is no way Elon Musk can make better use of $839 billion than if we had a tax on billionaires that could end homelessness, make childcare affordable, expand healthcare, and put money in people's pockets. Tax the rich.

You paid more for your nosebleed concert seats than Ticketmaster paid in federal income taxes last year.

Because they paid $0.

Tax Day arrives with Republicans struggling to sell their cuts The GOP hoped its "big, beautiful bill" would raise its political fortunes, but is finding last year's tax cuts overshadowed by Iran and rising costs.

Reminder this #TaxDay: The 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' gave tax goodies to billionaires while cutting health care and nutrition assistance for millions of Americans.

88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits.

The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed.

It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay

What the death of Direct File tells us about state capacity We CAN have nice things - if we want them

Trump, Musk & Co. killed the beloved IRS "direct file" aid for taxpayers, and then — "You will never guess who also proposed an IRS app to help for Americans file their taxes." Follow Musk's $. Absolutely maddening, for #TaxDay, from @donmoyn.bsky.social. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-the-d...

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

and

$4,049 — weapons and war.

These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Is This Trump’s Biggest Scam Yet?
Is This Trump’s Biggest Scam Yet? The Trump-Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a “Big Ugly Nightmare.”Much of what’s included in it will begin in

Your Tax Day reminder that Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill gutted food stamps and healthcare to dole out tax cuts for giant corporations and the billionaires that run them.

The midterms are just months away.

Remember this.

Americans are running on fumes, literally and figuratively, barely able to make ends meet, and Trump's GOP is out here celebrating tax day as if it was some billionaire's birthday.

Happy Tax Day!

You're paying a Big Tax Prep company like TurboTax to do your taxes because the Trump admin gutted the free and easy IRS tax filing tool DirectFile.

Meanwhile, 88 corporations with $105B in profits paid zero in federal income tax.

The system is rigged

Tax breaks for just four corporations—Amazon, Alphabet, Google, and Tesla—blew a $51 BILLION hole in the deficit last year.

Every penny being taken from healthcare, housing, childcare, and food assistance is paying for that.

Imagine what’s possible if billionaires and corporations paid what they owe. Our families would have what we need: stable housing, quality health care, good schools, and the support to thrive.

Tell Congress: Tax the ultra-wealthy.

BREAKING: In just the 16 months since Trump was reelected, the collective fortune of billionaires has grown by $1.96 trillion.

More than half of that growth comes from just the top 15 billionaires, who alone grew their collective wealth by over $1 trillion.

You paid taxes with each paycheck last year.

The wealthiest people in the world didn't.

You'll file your taxes today, and you'll have paid your fair share.

The wealthiest people in the world won't.

And the tax code has been rigged to say that's all fine and good.

No more.
