I know that Sen. Bernie Sanders just introduced legislation in the Senate that would impose a 95 percent windfall tax on the excess profits of major companies. A temporary emergency measure, Sanders’ Ending Corporate Greed Act could raise an estimated $400 billion in one year from 30 of the largest corporations alone and would apply only in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is cosponsoring the legislation in the Senate, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) will introduce companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
I want you to co-sponsor this bill immediately, please. I am furious that big corporations are making so much money while average Americans are being hit with sky-high prices on consumer goods. It’s unacceptable; it has to stop. Thanks.
