@thedailyshow.com destroys the myth of rich fleeing NYC for lower taxes. "NYC takes the cash crown for the fourth year in a row, home to a staggering 123 billionaires worth a combined $759 billion — and 15 are new to the list" (Forbs)

"I have been careful about what I eat, and right now the only thing keeping me from going hungry is SNAP," Lena Diaz of Phoenix said. "But from November 1st, that health, that lifeline will be gone, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Read more here: bit.ly/3Lo6fhs #TrumpGOPshutdown

Dutch journalist/ historian @rutgerbregman.com at the World Economic Forum in Davos 2019, calling out the elites about the elephant in the room- "We've got to be talking about taxes!!" #inequality #taxes @taxwarroom.bsky.social @fairshareamerica.bsky.social @patrioticmillionaires.org

“When pitting the US against 38 other higher-income countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the US has the highest rate of relative poverty, second-highest rate of child poverty and infant mortality, and the second-lowest life expectancy rate.” #taxes

We had a wonderful screening of @deathandtaxesfilm.bsky.social and discussion about wealth and the mythology around the "self-made man" at the Marlene Meyerson JCC. With @alissaquart.bsky.social and CNBCs David Faber.

"Market Shift" by the artist Christoph Niemann says it all... The stock market tripled between 2003-2024. The richest 10% own 93 % of stock wealth. This is not sustainable. A properly working estate tax needs to be part of the solution. deathandtaxesfilm.com

On top of tax-breaks & loopholes for the wealthy, Trump is now defunding the IRS. Life is good for the super-rich, at the expense of everyone else. Cartoon from the wonderful book #Burnedbybillionaires by @chuckcollinswrites.bsky.social Drawn by Jason Patterson @itep.org @patrioticmillionaires.org

We all need to benefit from prosperity. The wealthiest need to pay a fair wage and pay their taxes. #taxes @fairshareamerica.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org @taxwarroom.bsky.social @itep.org #taxes

Had the honor of screening @deathandtaxesfilm.bsky.social in Chicago this week. A great city, not about to fold to fascist bullies. #chicago #ice #resist @fairshareamerica.bsky.social @4taxfairness.bsky.social

The top 0.1% of highest-income households will each on average receive a tax cut of over $286,000 next year. It’s not that we’re broke, it’s that we’re spending money on the wrong things.

So excited to read Burned By Billionaires the newest book by lifelong activist @chuck77.bsky.social about the devastating impact of wealth hoarding on America. #ineqaity #taxes #billionaires

Death & Taxes comes to the Windy City Oct 6th 7PM @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social to talk about the impact of wealth gap on our democracy. Post screening talk with @kristencrowell.bsky.social of @fairshareamerica.bsky.social drafthouse.com/chicago/show... #taxes

More states and local governments are finding mansion taxes useful to improve their communities. www.latimes.com/california/s...

We all will get sick... for some Americans that means they will also go broke! If we closed the loopholes- like the stepped up basis, that allow the wealthiest of Americans to easily avoid paying taxes - then we could help our sick friends and neighbor in their time of need. #taxes

🔥💵 Chuck Collins from @patrioticmillionaires.org shares why he is taking action to #DrawTheLine against rising inequality and is calling on the super-rich to stop exacerbating climate impacts at the expense of the rest of us. This September, join an event near you: drawtheline.world

No one makes that much money on their own... #taxes

We're glad to have our director @amyhanauer.bsky.social featured in "Death & Taxes," a documentary about wealth, inequality, and the American Dream.

The unchecked influence of money on our government and our tax code has created an new aristocracy that is choking our democracy.

Arizonians-Join me @honestaz.bsky.social & Sen @mitziepstein.bsky.social for a screening of Death & Taxes Sunday afternoon 9/7 at 2PM in Scottsdale. @patrioticmillionaires.org @4taxfairness.bsky.social "The most important and relevant American film I’ll see this year " Hollywood Times

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

My dad and millions of others went to college for free on the GI Bill… paid for by taxes which built the middle class of the 1950s and 60s. Now the cost of an education is prohibitive to most. If the wealthiest paid a fair share - instead of avoiding taxes so successfully- that could change.

Populist protests and community actions targeting Republicans in Congress for backing Trump’s signature tax law and other budget cuts to the social safety net are everywhere this summer 👇 #TaxJustice

The bottom 60 percent of Americans will get just 4 percent of the benefits from Trump’s budget. If you’re in that bracket but still voting for Trump, you’ve been conned.

Are these our priorities?

So tax breaks for the wealthy were so important that we had to cut healthcare, take food from hungry kids, and slap $4 trillion onto the deficit. But now they're saying we "can't afford" the funds that were already approved for EPA, NOAA, and the Health Department? Scam.

Trumps Bleak and Brutal Budget pays for estate tax cuts for the wealthiest with cuts for the hungriest. @patrioticmillionaires.org @itep.org @4taxfairness.bsky.social

It rips health care away from 10M+ Americans on Medicaid, all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.

Philanthropy is not a replacement for government or taxes in a democracy. This report from @ips-dc.org shows why. @patrioticmillionaires.org @itep.org @4taxfairness.bsky.social

Nine households now control 15% of the Silicon Valley region’s wealth. Meanwhile, 110,000 families have nearly nothing, & renters must earn $136K just to afford an apartment. We need a tax code that addresses the affordability crisis & invests in working people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really need everyone to stop falling for tax cut propaganda. By 2033, the richest 0.1% will be making $83,000 more every year because of Trump's tax bill. The poorest 20% will lose over $1,300. Tax cuts don't help when everything else is being stolen from you.

If you're cheering this on, you're being played for a sucker. Republicans just passed tax breaks for the wealthy that add $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit. This isn't "saving" $9.4 billion. This is paying off 0.2% of what they just spent. Wake up.
