By massively favoring income earned from wealth over work, the U.S. tax system has grown the fortunes of millionaires and billionaires while starving our country of critically needed investments ranging from schools to roads and bridges to healthcare and more.

Now, thanks to all our hard work together, we’re beginning to see progressive tax reform plans in Congress and from presidential candidates to address the extreme concentration of wealth among just a small number of families.

Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund is leading the effort to close a loophole that allows millionaires and billionaires to avoid paying any federal income tax when their businesses and stock portfolios rise in value. It’s our top priority. We are working with our allies in Congress right now to draft legislation that will soon be introduced to make the wealthy “pay as they profit,” so they can no longer defer or avoid altogether the taxes that should be paid on this massive wealth accumulation.

Tell Congress that it’s time to close tax loopholes and finally tax wealth just like we tax work.
