TAX FAIRNESS!! It is time for Corporations and the wealthiest to pay their fair share!

We could stop the cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and rebuild our infrastructure as well hire teachers, police and firemen if we had Corporations and the wealthiest paying the percentage of taxes which the middle class pay.


Americans for Tax Fairness – a coalition representing more than 280 national and state groups co-chaired by the Center for American Progress, AFSCME and National People’s Action – has been stepping up pressure on Congress to raise $ 1 trillion, in part by closing corporate tax loopholes. We’ve been exposing a “Corporate Tax Dodger of the Day” leading into April 15 -- the always stressful “Tax Day.”


It’s not always the preferred topic -- raising taxes -- but let’s face it: millions of working families pay more in taxes some years, or pay a much higher income tax rate, than some of the biggest and most profitable corporations in America pay. Think ExxonMobil, General Electric, FedEx, Verizon, Wells Fargo and more. That’s wrong and I know I’m talking to folks who agree.

Let me be blunt: We need your help. Now is the time for us to mobilize to make sure corporations pay up. On Tax Day our coalition will mobilize events in over two dozen states under the brand "WHO PAYS" that show how tax breaks for the rich and loopholes for corporations increase burdens on our families. Details of the events are online but even if there is not something happening near you, please join us and keep involved in this fight as it builds over the next few weeks.

Frank Clemente is a Campaign Manager for Americans for Tax Fairness.
