Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are scamming our tax system. Let’s change that for good.
THIS IS OUR MOMENT. IN 2025, THE CLOCK RUNS OUT ON KEY PROVISIONS OF THE 2017 TAX LAW. CONGRESS MUST REVERSE DECADES OF FAILED TRICKLE DOWN POLICIES. IT’S TIME FOR US TO TAKE BACK WHAT’S OURS.
What is the 2017 Tax Law?
In 2017, Congress passed massive tax giveaways for the wealthy. Proponents sold the law as a massive tax cut for the middle class but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
90%
of workers did not see a raise from the 2017 tax law, while billionaire wealth nearly doubled.
100%
of the benefit from the corporate tax cuts went to shareholders, top execs, and the highest-paid.
0%
of the corporate tax breaks went to regular workers.
In 1970, the richest Americans paid, all taxes included, more than 50% of their income in taxes, twice as much as working-class individuals. In 2018, following the Trump tax reform, and for the first time in the last hundred years, billionaires have paid less than steel workers, schoolteachers, and retirees.Source: Saez, Emmanuel; Zucman, Gabriel.
