BREAKING: America's 708 billionaires are now worth $4.8 trillion after gaining $1.8 trillion, up 62%, during the pandemic.
That wealth growth alone could pay for over half of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget plan.
Don't tell us we can't afford to invest in working families.

Those who say $3.5 trillion to lower costs for working families and invest in clean energy is "too expensive" are simply not paying attention.
Those who want the package to be "paid for" can look no further.
Yes, we can tax billionaires to Build Back Better. In fact, we MUST.

Thanks to loopholes in our tax code, most of the billionaires' wealth gains will go untaxed until they sell their assets.
So while you paid income taxes on anything YOU may have made during the pandemic, these billionaires may never pay.
This is about basic fairness.

That's why in order to pay for $3.5 trillion of investments in working families, @POTUS' agenda makes billionaires and their corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
✅ Taxing wealth like work
✅ 39.6% top individual rate
✅ Crack down on tax cheats
✅ 28% corporate tax rate

62% of Americans believe this is the right thing to do.
We need everyone to call their members of Congress right now and tell them to support the $3.5 trillion budget package.
Will they side with working families or with the well-funded special interests opposing tax fairness?
