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. Today, the ultra-wealthy control an unprecedented 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. Yet it sometimes seems like Congress exists only to serve the needs of the wealthy. Both of these bills 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. 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.
