Today is Tax Day. This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires. For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor. Here’s how:

Every tax dollar a billionaire writes off on their yacht is a tax dollar that has to come from you. It doesn't have to be this way. We can limit the influence of billionaires in our politics and make them pay their fair share so we can start cutting OUR taxes.

Elon Musk’s $78 million private jet? He can write that off. Jeff Bezos’ $500 million mega-yacht? He can write that off, too. It’s a scam. This is why billionaires buy politicians — to rewrite the rules and rig the system for themselves.

Tax Day. Are your tax forms correct?
