Taxes on the wealthy

“I’ll push both parties to reform the tax code so the folks at the top pay their fair share. And I’ll support reforms that help working people, like no tax on tips — real tips, not bonuses for CEOs.”

“I’ll fight to close the wealth gap and make billionaires pay their fair share by:”

“Cut taxes for working families. Cut taxes for working and middle-class families while closing loopholes that let big corporations and the ultra-wealthy avoid paying their fair share.”

“A tax system where billionaires pay their fair share because the rest of us already are.”

“We need a tax system that is progressive, fair, simple, and enforced. That means closing ridiculous loopholes, making it harder to shield huge fortunes from taxes for generation after generation, and ensuring the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations actually pay their fair share.”

“Make the richest Americans pay a fairer share by reversing decades of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, rolling back Trump’s tax cut for high income earners, and adding two new top income tax brackets.”

“Make the rich pay their taxes.”

“Fair taxes for the rich. No more free rides for billionaires and big corporations.”

“This endorsement affirms Abdul’s commitment to the Working Families Guarantee, a policy platform that seeks to create a more affordable and dignified America for the working class. It includes a commitment to more affordable housing and healthcare, creating a national program to help workers find union jobs, guaranteed low-cost childcare, and 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave – achievable by taxing the ultra-wealthy and eliminating big money in our politics.”

“I also believe that we should be taxing billionaires’ wealth. Why? Because I care more that we provide things like childcare and healthcare and good schools and good roads, than allowing a billionaire to make their second billion.”

“I believe in right-sizing our tax code to take on the outsized power of excess wealth in our economy and democracy.”

“We can afford to fix big problems in this country, and we don’t have to go deeper into debt to do it. We just need the richest people in this country to carry their own weight, just like the rest of us.”

“End tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and corporate polluters”

“Immediately Rolling Back the Trump Tax Cuts for the Highest Earners and the Trump Tariffs: Trump’s giveaways to the wealthy cost us hundreds of billions of dollars.

“Make the richest Americans pay a fairer share by reversing decades of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, rolling back Trump’s tax cut for high income earners, and adding two new top income tax brackets.”

“The 2017 Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act handed massive breaks to billionaires and big corporations, exploding the national debt and leaving working families to pick up the tab. Repealing those giveaways could raise over $1.5 trillion – enough to lower the debt, expand healthcare, and strengthen the safety net without raising taxes on working people.”

“Instead of these tax breaks and continued loopholes for the very wealthiest among us, let’s focus it on everyday families.”

“And it’s why I supported common-sense tax cuts for hardworking families who need them the most and opposed tax breaks for the wealthy.”

“We need to give the breaks to families, not the wealthiest among us.”

“Repeal Congressional Republicans’ tax cuts for the ultra-rich. The vast majority of the benefits in the “Big Beautiful Bill” went to corporations and the ultra-wealthy. Let’s repeal those provisions, keep the parts that help working people, like no taxes on overtime and tips, and use those resources to start fixing housing, healthcare, and childcare.”

“My priority will be lower costs, not tax breaks for big corporations and billionaires.”

“In 2011, former Governor Paul LePage slashed funding for education, property tax relief, first responders, pensions for state workers and more, all so he could give tax breaks to his wealthy friends. Troy was one of only a handful of Democrats who stood strong and refused to support that bogus plan.”

“I think you pay for it by where we put our money. Repeal the Big Beautiful Bill, take back those tax cuts for the wealthy”

“Troy wants a tax code that puts more money back in the pockets of working and middle-class families instead of continuing to shower benefits on the wealthy and well-connected.”

“Repeal Trump’s tax breaks to the rich and restore devastating cuts to the social safety net.”

“Will is fighting for our government to say YES to funding universal healthcare, social security and quality housing; and NO to billionaire tax breaks and endless war.”

“Cut taxes for working families. Cut taxes for working and middle-class families while closing loopholes that let big corporations and the ultra-wealthy avoid paying their fair share.”

“Instead of these tax breaks and continued loopholes for the very wealthiest among us, let’s focus it on everyday families.”

“The ultrawealthy should no longer be able to hide behind loopholes that leave them paying lower tax rates than the rest of us.”

“Toward that end, I support taxing capital gains over $1 million at the same rate as ordinary income and closing the stepped-up basis loophole.”

“Instead of fighting for regular folks, Congress passes bills that give corporations and the wealthiest Americans special treatment: from tax loopholes to limits on what they pay into Social Security and Medicare. Peggy will fight to stop this special treatment and unrig our system for you and me.”

“Close the Opportunity Zone loophole that currently lets investors claim capital gains tax breaks with almost no requirement to build affordable units”

“Maine’s tax code is upside down. Working and middle-class families pay their taxes every paycheck, while the wealthiest people and biggest corporations too often benefit from loopholes, low rates, and special treatment. Troy Jackson believes it is time to fix that.”

By raising the corporate tax rate, increasing taxes on the highest earners, and eliminating loopholes like Carried Interest, we can finance the most effective tax breaks for working people to help more people afford a home, build a family, or start a business.”

“Implementing a Wealth Tax: In the United States, income inequality is at the highest levels in more than 100 years. And while working people pay their fair share, billionaires have carved themselves out of the tax code. We should implement a modest wealth tax on the assets of billionaires and ultra-millionaires to fund the priorities we all care about.”

“Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act and Equal Tax Act so millionaires and billionaires pay their far share”

“Taxing the top tier of wealth in this country is one way to finally build an America that works for working people. The Fair Share Tax Agenda is about unrigging a system that has placed an undue burden on working Michiganders while giving corporations and billionaires a free pass.”

“Taxing billionaire wealth to reduce billionaire power over our economy and democracy”

“Abdul supports taxing billionaire wealth akin to policies proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ro Khanna, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren and will champion proposals that will reduce the wealth and power of the ultra-rich and return it to working people.”

“I also believe that we should be taxing billionaires’ wealth. Why? Because I care more that we provide things like childcare and healthcare and good schools and good roads, than allowing a billionaire to make their second billion.”

“Billionaires should pay their fair share back into the system. I believe that means we have to pass a wealth tax. I think when you start taxing billionaire wealth, you have the opportunity to return trillions of dollars back to the economy to allow other people to participate.”

“Combatir la desigualdad de ingresos y riqueza Los estadounidenses más ricos han manipulado el código tributario a su favor durante décadas. Lucharé por gravar la riqueza, no solo los ingresos. Los ingresos que recaudemos financiarán la infraestructura de salud, educación, vivienda y cuidado que las familias trabajadoras necesitan.”

“Make billionaires pay their fair share in taxes — including by imposing a higher tax on their income and capital gains and ending the dubious “buy, borrow, die” loopholes that billionaires use to grow untaxed wealth.”

“A fair tax system Three people own more wealth than the bottom half of our entire country, yet they’re the ones getting tax cuts while the rest of us struggle to get by. Working families shouldn’t be highly taxed during a cost of living crisis while the ultra rich use loopholes created by their buddies in Congress to escape paying their fair share. The most effective and fair way to increase government revenue is to tax the top 1% of income earners and wealth holders, and give working families the break we’ve earned.”

“Central Kentucky deserves to have a representative in Washington who stands up for families, works to lower their cost of living, expands access to affordable healthcare, and protects their safety. Instead, D.C. politicians have put Medicaid on the chopping block, tariffs are targeting our most prized industries and jobs, and everything costs more – all while they give billionaires and coastal elites a massive tax break.”
