Target: United States Congress
Goal: Urge Congress to reform the tax code by closing loopholes and eliminating tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy, ensuring a more equitable distribution of resources.
The latest tax legislation has resulted in significant financial gains for upper-middle-class and wealthy households, such as a five-person family earning $450,000 annually. This family, through a variety of deductions and credits—including an expanded State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, reductions in federal income tax rates, and a 20% deduction on qualified business income—receives over $50,000 in annual tax breaks. These benefits are out of reach for most working families, who continue to face financial insecurity and underfunded public services.
While some provisions offer modest relief to lower-income households, the bulk of the dollar benefits flow to those already financially secure. This system exacerbates inequality and diverts resources from critical investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure that would benefit the majority of Americans. It's time to demand a tax system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
