Tax. The. Rich.

Today would be a great day to Tax the Rich.

Elizabeth is fighting to pass her Wealth Tax plan, a two-cent per dollar tax on people with a net worth above $50 million — and an additional cent on net worths over a billion.

This small tax on America's richest would generate huge amounts of revenue totaling at least $3 trillion over a decade, providing money that would help pay for universal child care, rebuilding infrastructure, high quality k-12 education, tuition-free public college and technical schools, climate investments, and so, so much more.

If you're on board, chip in $25 or more today to power our campaign to pass this plan, and you'll receive a free "Tax the Rich" pin as a thank you. If you wear your pin in the right place at the right time, you might just make a billionaire cry.

Thanks for being a part of this work,

Team Warren

P.S. If you haven't filed your taxes just yet (no judgments, we've been there), you might be able to bypass the headache and the expense of going through a big tax prep company — thanks to a new free tax filing service the IRS is piloting, a project which Elizabeth helped lead the charge and delivered funding to make it happen. Check out DirectFile.IRS.gov to see if you qualify for this pilot program, which is available to certain tax filers in 12 states (including Massachusetts!). If you don't qualify, share it with someone else who might — you could be doing them a huge favor.
