There’s real momentum behind this idea — 81% of Americans support increasing taxes on the wealthy.2 Opposing this idea should be a liability for politicians of any party — but Congress needs to hear from us. It starts with you, right now. Please sign our petition asking your Congressional representatives to co-sponsor the Fairness in Taxation Act:

Many in Congress compare the federal budget to a family's budget. They argue that because the federal government is in so much debt, the nation is broke. And just like broke families need to make hard choices, the government does as well, so they advocate cutting programs that support poor and working folks, along with children, the elderly, and those who need special medical care.
But this is one of several ways their argument falls apart. When times get tough, families don't abandon the grandparents and the kids because we can't afford them — we try to bring in more income.

A key problem in Washington is that politicians lack the will to tax millionaires and billionaires to bring in more revenue, so they throw grandma, grandpa, and the kids out on the street and under the bus.
