    Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends, https://www.congress.gov/contact-us Dear Senator/Representative -I want you to support the Equal Tax Act because this country is not just for those 800 billionaires, it is for all 340 million of us.The Equal Tax Act ensures wealthy investors pay the same tax rate on their income that working people pay on their income, by taxing investment income at the same rate as earned income for those earning over $1 million annually. It also eliminates one of the ways the wealthy avoid taxes by ending the stepped-up basis loophole with unprecedented protections for family farms and businesses.Polls indicate 66% of voters support raising capital gains rates on the wealthy, consistent with years of polling indicating support for closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy (74%) and making millionaires and billionaires pay more in taxes (70%). This proposal delivers by raising significant revenue exclusively from households that have more than $1 million in annual income.This needs to be a cornerstone policy moving ahead. Those living off the interest on their investments should not pay a lower tax rate than teachers, farmers, nurses, and firefighters.It's the right thing to do.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #TaxTheRich #Greed

    I’ll say it again: Mahmoud Khalil is not an admirable person; he believes and says ignorant and hateful things. It is equally true that deporting him is a gross injustice, and should be prevented at all costs. That’s what it means to be American: standing up for the rights of terrible people, because if they have no rights, none of us do. #Amerika #impeach47 #resist #Ω #donotcomply #crushICE

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/15/us-taxpayers-military-spending-trumpTax day: US taxpayers spend hundreds more on military as Trump pushes for vast increaseThe US-Israeli war with Iran has drawn vast US expenditure on war into the spotlight: Pentagon officials reportedly told lawmakers in March that they estimated the cost of the war had exceeded $11.3bn in the first six days alone, before Trump proposed increasing defense spending by roughly 40% earlier this month, while other government programs would face cuts totaling 10%.About $4,049 of the average taxpaying household’s federal income taxes went to military-related spending in 2025, according to a new report from the progressive Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) thinktank – up from $3,707 in 2024.#trump #resist #military #cost #taxpayers

    Copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends, https://www.congress.gov/contact-us.Dear Senator/Representative:I need you to regulate Polymarket and ban insider trading. On April 8, AP reported that new accounts “made highly specific, well-timed bets totaling $170 million on whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire on April 7. The bets resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for these new customers.” Three accounts made almost a half million dollars. This mirrors bets placed on the start of the Iran War. Traders spent $529 million on contracts tied to the timing of the initial attack on February 28. Six newly created wallets made a profit of $1.2 million by correctly betting that the U.S. would strike Iran by that date. One account turned $61,000 into almost a half million. Earlier this year, a Polymarket account earned almost $500,000 from a $38,500 investment in contracts tied to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Its largest trades were placed merely hours before the secret military action became public. Current insider trading law only covers securities. Federal wire fraud statutes do not apply. And the primary Commodity Futures Trading Commission anti-fraud device for commodity derivatives also does not apply.Work with your colleagues to sponsor effective legislation.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #InsiderTrading
