Americans for Tax Fairness

Elon Musk is a trillionaire. It's time to tax wealth.

Elon Musk is the first trillionaire. There is no amount of taxes America could reasonably levy that wouldn’t leave him insanely rich. But even a 1% wealth tax could make a difference for millions of folks in our healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire and we have a tax code that allows the wealthiest people in America to pay $0 in taxes.

If this country is going to create the conditions that allow one man to be worth $1 TRILLION, we sure as hell had better be asking him to pay his fair share back to us.

100 of America's biggest corporations have bought back over $4.8 TRILLION of their own stock since Trump's first term. Those tax buybacks are taxed at 1%. If we'd taxed them at 4%, we'd have raised $200 BILLION in revenue.

Is America about to get its first trillionaire because our tax system is rigged, or is our tax system rigged because America is about to get its first trillionaire? 🤔
