08/31/2021 Tweet - "A two-cent #WealthTax--with a few pennies more for the billionaires--on the richest 100,000 U.S. households would raise about $3 trillion over the next decade. It's supported by 68 percent of the country, including a majority of Republicans. Let's make it happen."
07/15/2021 Tweet - "The richest of the richest are paying nothing or next to nothing in taxes and laughing in the faces of hard-working Americans who pay what they owe. Let's get to the bottom of this and make the ultra-rich pitch in a fair share."
07/13/2021 Tweet - "We need a #WealthTax to start to level the playing field here."
07/12/2021 Tweet - "Our tax code has been written by and for the lobbyists of billionaires and giant corporations. Now is the moment to make them pay a fair share."
07/01/2021 Tweet - "Millions of women can't go back to work because of child care. Our climate is changing more and more rapidly. Billionaires and giant corporations manipulate our tax laws to pay nothing or next to nothing. We can't move our country forward without tackling these crises head on."
06/29/2021 Tweet - "Our tax laws work great for billionaire grifters who pay next to nothing. They just don't work for everyone else who has to pick up the tab. I'll keep fighting to level the playing field with a #WealthTax, a Real Corporate Profits Tax, and a crackdown on wealthy tax cheats."
06/28/2021 Tweet - "By getting out of paying taxes, billionaires and giant corporations have been riding the backs of hardworking families. The American people know they're getting the wrong end of the deal. We must make the rich and powerful pay their fair share."
06/18/2021 Tweet - "Jeff Bezos is the second-richest person in the world. His net worth is nearly $195 billion dollars. But his salary is about the same as the average public school teacher in Massachusetts: $80,000. Taxing income alone won't make him pay his fair share. It's time for a #WealthTax."
07/20/2019 Tweet - "If you made it big, you should have to put a little back in to help everyone else make it, too. My #UltraMillionaireTax on the wealthiest 0.1% of Americans would help level the playing field for everyone."
06/26/2019 Tweet - "It's time to fundamentally transform our tax code so it's not rigged for the rich. My plan taxes the wealth of the 75,000 US households with a net worth over $50 million. Let's demand the top 0.1% pay their fair share -- & start rebuilding our middle class."
05/18/2019 Tweet - "A majority of Americans agree: the tippy-top 0.1% of the wealthy should pay their fair share so we can start to rebuild America's middle class."
