The Payback

Billionaires and big corporations are gearing up in anticipation of huge tax cuts, with lobbying efforts and campaign donations already pouring in to secure these breaks. We can’t let their greed drive our tax policies at the expense of workers and families. In 2025, the fight for a fair, equitable, and just tax system is on. https://lnkd.in/epnAAXp5

No more handouts to corporations and billionaires—it's time for real, fair tax reform that puts working people first. Democrats must remain united, reject new tax cuts for the wealthy, and fight for a tax code that creates opportunity for all.

Trump is lining up tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and major corporations—again. In 2017, his Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered a historic handout to billionaires and corporations, giving CEOs and the top 0.1% an extraordinary boost, all while adding $1.9 trillion to the national deficit. Workers, meanwhile, saw little to no benefit from these policies, despite promises of higher wages and job growth. This isn’t just a tax issue—it’s about fairness and who our economy truly serves. We must stand united against yet another tax scheme that benefits the wealthy and corporations at the expense of working people. For a deeper dive on what’s at stake, check out Lindsay A.

Workers and families are feeling the squeeze from higher prices on everything from groceries to rent. They're looking to elected officials to tackle these challenges—not make them worse. Americans want policies that bring real relief, make the economy fairer, and hold big businesses accountable—not another round of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and corporations.

The ultra-wealthy are celebrating Donald Trump’s return, and here’s why: his first order of business will be even bigger tax cuts for billionaires and corporate giants. Democrats must rally to stop these billionaire handouts and put working families first. Read more from Lindsay A. Owens, PhD in Rolling Stone: https://lnkd.in/esjd7MxC

Here we go again. As President-elect Trump and Republicans prep for next year’s tax fight, they’re gearing up for more of the same: tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations.   This isn’t a new storyline, it’s a rerun of the same failed policies we’ve seen time and time again. The 2017 tax cuts were a windfall for corporations and the richest Americans, while working families saw little relief.    It’s time for a new script—one where the interests of working families come first. No more corporate handouts or tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.   Lindsay A. Owens, PhD ⤵️

There is no world in which teachers, nurses, and first responders should be paying a HIGHER tax rate than billionaires. 2025 is our chance to reform our broken tax system and put working families first. https://lnkd.in/dCrifiPN

The 2017 tax law was a gift to the ultra-wealthy and corporations and Trump’s billionaire friends are set to cash in—again.   Americans don’t want more handouts for billionaires—they want a fair economy that works for everyone.   Lindsay A. Owens, PhD ⤵️

Tax cuts for the rich don’t create jobs—they create more debt, division, and despair for working people. When the ultra-wealthy and big corporations get tax breaks, the rest of us are left to pick up the tab, with underfunded schools, strained public services, and growing economic inequality. Meanwhile, those at the top only get richer. It’s time for a tax system that benefits everyone, not just the wealthy few.

Tax cuts for the rich don't "trickle down" — they widen the wealth gap. In 2025, let’s close the loopholes, end the scams, and make the tax system work for ALL of us—not just billionaires and corporations.
