I’m writing to support two recently-introduced bills: S. 3956, the Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act, and H.R. 8085, the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act of 2026. The ultra-wealthy control an unprecedented (and appalling) share of the country’s wealth: America’s 916 billionaires together hold more than $8 trillion. Prices keep growing while wages, especially for poor and working Americans, aren’t keeping pace. I know you care about all Americans, and that you want to make a more equitable society that works for everyone, not just the rich. These bills would help in that aim. Both have at their core a powerful call to action: we can build a better society, and we can pay for it with very modest taxes on the wealth of the luckiest Americans. These taxes would make a big difference for the majority of Americans, and it would be a hardly noticeable change to the wealth of those billionaires being taxed. Taxing the rich isn’t just good policy -- it’s good politics. Majorities across all parties support billionaire income taxes and wealth taxes. I urge you to do everything you can to support these bills. Thank you.
