Elon Musk and other billionaire CEOs have too much power. Tax the ultra-wealthy!
Demand Progress.org
Petition To Congress:
"We urge you to pass legislation to raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and corporations."
Last week, the United Auto Workers (UAW) filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk for threatening workers who go on strike.
In an interview on Twitter between the two billionaires, Trump praised Musk's anti-union stances, particularly lauding Tesla's dismissal of striking workers.
In response, the UAW filed charges to protect workers from Trump and Musk's attacks on the federally protected right to strike.
Musk has been able to amass so much power in the corporate world and our political system because of America's massive tax breaks and loopholes for billionaires.
A critical way for Congress to take some of that power back for the people and the workers of America is by raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy.
Sign the petition: Tax Elon Musk!
Congress must end the 2017 Trump tax cuts, raise taxes on billionaires like Musk, and ensure corporations are paying their fair share of taxes!
In addition to threatening workers, Musk is also funding a right-wing super PAC to gain even more influence over our politics.
