Over the last decade, billionaires have increased their wealth by trillions of dollars while paying lower tax rates than middle class workers. All while dozens of price-gouging corporations made record profits while avoiding taxes altogether thanks to loopholes in our two-tiered tax system.

It’s time for lawmakers to stop the ultra-rich and wealthy corporations from tax-dodging and from using their hoarded wealth to interfere in our democracy with political donations that drown out the voices and votes of regular people.
