Resistbot Petition: Please co-sponsor the SPACE Tax Act

An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives

Please co-sponsor the SPACE Tax Act

367 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I’m writing to ask you to co-sponsor Rep. Blumenauer’s new bill, the SPACE tax act. While people like me need to pay nearly 10% of the cost of a ticket in taxes and fees to fly on an airplane, billionaires are able to engage in space tourism and pay $0 in taxes. In addition to basic equity issues, space tourism hastens climate change; Virgin Galactic has said it plans to offer 400 space flights each year and each launch will generate greenhouse gases and air pollutants. If someone can afford to pay $28 million for a seat on a spaceship, they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes.
