Tell Congress: Make the Ultra-Rich Pay Their Fair Share

Billionaires are getting richer by the day — and paying less in taxes than working families. It’s outrageous, and Congress has the power to stop it.

Right now, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Pramila Jayapal — joined by dozens of lawmakers — are renewing their push for the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act, a bold plan to finally tax extreme wealth and restore fairness to our economy. While nurses, teachers, and everyday workers pay taxes out of every paycheck, the ultra-rich exploit loopholes to avoid contributing what they owe.

The result is an economy rigged for the wealthy, where billionaires accumulate massive fortunes while working families struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and education. That’s not just unfair — it’s unsustainable.

Representative Jayapal said it plainly: “It’s time to tax the rich and level the playing field to ensure that every American has a chance to succeed.”

Senator Warren echoed that call: “My bill is about basic fairness and making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. It’s time for the government to stop listening to the richest of the rich and start working for working people.”

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would impose a small annual tax on fortunes over $50 million, generating trillions in revenue that could be invested in healthcare, childcare, education, and climate action. It’s a straightforward step toward an economy that works for everyone — not just those at the very top.

Tell Congress: Pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act and make the ultra-rich pay their fair share. Our economy should reward work — not just wealth. Sign the petition now and demand a tax system rooted in fairness, justice, and opportunity for all.

The petition to Congress reads: "Congress must pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act to ensure the wealthiest Americans finally pay their fair share. For too long, billionaires have exploited loopholes while working families carry the burden—this must end now. I urge you to cosponsor the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act and take immediate action to make our tax system fair."
