Americans for Tax Fairness

We’ve been fighting for ten years to build an economy that works for all of us by making the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. Follow us on all socials to boost tax fairness ➡️ @4taxfairness

Over the next decade, we'll face crisis-level national debt and unmet needs for healthcare and retirement. The choice is simple: leave billionaire wealth untouched, or tax them like the rest of us. Their untaxed fortunes could fund the public needs they claim we "can't afford."

Republicans are calling Blanche's deal a "compromise." But Trump's previous tax returns still won't be audited. Trump + his sons + the Trump Org are still immune from new audits. The $1.8B slush fund is "rescinded" but Trump wants it back. Trump is rigging his own tax break.

40+ billionaires with documented Epstein ties spent $1.57 billion on federal elections. $1.3 billion (84%) to Republicans. $105 million (7%) to Democrats. Just 0.09% of their $1.7 trillion combined wealth. Pocket change for them. Corruption for us.

NEW: Microsoft paid a 2.44% federal income tax rate last year on $101 billion of U.S. profits. The federal corporate tax rate is 21%. They should have paid $21 billion. But nope. They paid $2.46 billion. Trump's 2017 and 2025 tax cuts made it legal. Here's how 👇

ITEP: Microsoft reports a 2.44% federal tax rate on a record $101 billion in profits

Big Oil hauled in a record $677 billion in profit over the last five years. We gave them billions in tax breaks. So why are gas prices still sky high? ✅They spent $454 billion on stock buybacks, dividends, and executive pay. Trickle down is a SCAM.

It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.

Let me get this straight. We can afford: →$1 trillion tax breaks for the richest 1% →Billions for Big Oil →A White House ballroom We "can't afford": →A COLA that actually covers rent →Social Security that isn't forced to cut benefits →Medicare It's being rigged.

Social Security benefits went up just 2.8% in 2026. That's what we got while the people in charge handed out trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. But we "can't afford" benefits that keep up with groceries and rent. Make it make sense.

Billionaires already dropped $433M on the 2026 midterms. 80% to Republicans. What do they get back? →Tax breaks →Lower capital gains rates →Loopholes on borrowed wealth →Corporate tax cuts →Inheritance carve-outs They aren't spending millions. They're protecting billions.

Billionaires use "Buy Borrow Die" to never pay tax. They BUY assets like stock. Instead of selling and getting taxed, they BORROW against them. When they DIE, heirs sell tax-free. Meanwhile, you pay your taxes on every paycheck. It's a scam and they wrote the rules.

We warned you this was a scam. More Trump voters now see the Big Ugly Bill as a giveaway to the wealthy. The bill PERMANENTLY extends tax breaks for billionaires. The "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime"? TEMPORARY. Everyone is seeing through it.

Graph shows “more Trump voters see the megabill as benefiting the wealthy than substantially helping the working class”

For whatever reason, we let corporations skip taxes on advertising entirely. If every state taxed advertising the way they tax sales, we'd raise $27 BILLION a year. Just another insane loophole stitched into the tax code to keep THEIR taxes low while YOURS stay high.

FBI says more than 180,000 crypto crime complaints in 2025. $11 BILLION stolen. Congress wants to give the industry behind all this fraud special tax breaks. Yet they say there's not enough money for healthcare, SNAP, and childcare. Reject the crypto tax breaks.

A report from the US National Bureau of Economic Research finds that fabricated wash trading on unregulated crypto exchanges accounts for the lion’s share of reported volumes

Peter Thiel exchanged 2,000+ emails with Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein invested $40 million in Thiel's Valar Ventures funds. They swapped strategies to avoid IRS tracking of hidden wealth. When billionaires teach each other to hide wealth from the IRS, that's not tax planning.

Decades of trickle-down tax breaks for the rich and corporations. Did your rent go down? Your groceries? Your healthcare? Your wages? Trickle-down doesn't work. It never worked. Tax the rich. Invest in working people. That's the only way through.

A bank that processed $1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein... shouldn't be quietly absorbing Warner Bros. Discovery and putting CNN, HBO, and CBS under one roof. But that's exactly what the Ellisons—with $24 billion from Saudi, Qatari, and UAE sovereign wealth funds—are trying to do.

The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. (likely the most expensive budget in Hollywood this year) Amazon got a tax break worth more than 30x that—paying $8 BILLION LESS than the year before. Then they fired 30,000 workers. Tax billionaires and their billionaire corporations.

The average American family makes $75,000 a year. Republicans cut $83,000,000,000 in IRS enforcement funding. The Stop CHEATERS Act would restore every dollar. And generate $998,000,000,000 by going after billionaire tax cheats. Tax the rich.

Some multi-billionaires paid $0 in federal taxes. ExxonMobil paid 1.3%. Chevron paid 7.8%. Teachers, nurses, and warehouse workers? Paid their full rate. Every dollar. The system is rigged FOR the rich and AGAINST you. It's time they paid their fair share.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' proposal to end Donald Trump's IRS sweetheart deal. This deal gives him FULL IMMUNITY from audits on tax returns he's filed. It's corruption on steroids.

"Taxing the rich doesn't work." Tell that to Massachusetts. Their millionaire tax has raised $3.1 BILLION so far. It's funding bridges, buses, teachers, free community college, and free school meals. This isn't theory. It's working. We've got the receipts.

Who actually opposes taxing the rich? Just the billionaires — and the politicians they own. When 4 in 5 Americans agree on something and Washington still won't act, that's not democracy. That's a pay-to-play scam. Tax the rich. It's what the country wants.
