Wage War on Wealth: Stop Requesting, Start Demanding
For too long, America has politely asked the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share. They’ve refused—and in return, working people have been buried in debt while billionaires and corporations pocket record profits. It’s time to stop requesting and start demanding.
Key Principles
Raise Taxes on the Wealthiest:
- Restore post–World War II tax rates: 90% on income above $10 million.
- Tax capital gains at ordinary income rates.
- Eliminate harmful import tariffs that inflate consumer prices.
Generate $25 Trillion Over 30 Years:
- Use these funds to pay down the national debt and strengthen America’s position as a global superpower.
- Reinvest in society with Medicare for All, universal education, expanded childcare, and national parental leave laws.
Reject Voodoo Economics: Decades of tax breaks for the rich and corporate subsidies have failed. They made billionaires richer and left the American people poorer and in debt.
Tax Justice: The question is simple—do we place the burden on the struggling working class, or on the billionaires with yachts, mansions, and endless luxury? The answer must be the wealthy.
Why It Matters
The richest Americans have declared economic war on the working class. It’s time we fight back—not with requests, but with demands.
Tax the wealthy. Pay down the debt. Invest in the people.
