Americans for Tax Fairness

Elon Musk is the first person worth $500 billion because Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Donald Trump all spent the last five decades changing the tax code to cut taxes for the wealthy.

Let's call a spade a spade.

Elon Musk just became the first person ever worth $500 billion.

And no one can afford a mortgage, healthcare, student loans, or groceries.

Trickle-down economics is BS.

Telegraph headline: tax the middle class more but leave ‘very richest’ alone, Reeves urged Chancellor should raid average households to fill black hole, says Sainsbury’s tycoon’s think tank

Elon Musk (an immigrant) recently joined a UK protest to stoke violent rhetoric about immigrants.

Both the UK and the US are seeing their middle class shrink and struggle with basic necessities like housing and healthcare while their billionaires are richer than ever before.

Only in America can the entire government shut down while a single billionaire reaches $500 billion in wealth.

If Trump agreed to give back the healthcare funding he stole to give billionaires tax breaks, we wouldn't even be in this situation.

Health care subsidies for more than 20 million are on the chopping block because the people in charge refused to extend them and gave tax breaks to billionaires instead.

THAT is what this government shutdown is about.

Let me get this straight.

The same people who just gave our healthcare money to billionaires and added $4 trillion to the deficit are now shutting down the government because they want to steal more healthcare money to give it to billionaires?

“Healthcare is currently our absolute biggest hurdle as a small business. We cannot afford to pay premiums for our employees while we also are in a position where we need to scale. We cannot attract the talent we would like to because we cannot afford to offer healthcare through our business.” Mike and Mel Ohlinger, Ohmco, Neenah, WI

You know who would suffer if we let the government open back up without restoring healthcare funding?

Entrepreneurs. Small businesses. Nonprofits.

They can't afford for healthcare costs to rise.

And their employees who depend on the Marketplace can't afford rising premiums.

Elon Musk just became the first person ever worth $500 billion.

Tax billionaires.

Republicans passed a bill in July that's ALREADY leading to hospital closures including children's hospitals, and surgery and maternity centers.

Threatening millions of more people's healthcare is unacceptable.

If we're so broke, repeal the tax cuts you just gave billionaires.

I cannot believe we're actually firing people, shuttering agencies, and closing down public services because Trump and his cronies gave billionaires tax breaks instead of keeping healthcare funding going.

We're here because of Trump's failed policies that prioritize his wealth and his buddies' riches over the rest of us.

It doesn't have to be this way.

We need a budget that works for our country, not billionaires' gorged pocketbooks.

Jobs are down, CEO pay is up.

Trickle-down economics is a LIE.

‘They will pay a huge price for this’: Shutdown-ready Trump expects Democrats to blink Many Democrats believe the White House is bluffing and insist Republicans will bear responsibility for a shutdown in the public eye because the GOP controls the government.

All we're asking for is funding to let people keep their healthcare.

According to the White House, Trump heard that demand and literally said, "Go f*ck yourself."

(Seriously, look it up.)

They gave tax breaks to billionaires but they're refusing to give us our healthcare.

Hear from Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and more great guests at tonight’s rapid response call. We need to act fast to hold Republicans accountable for forcing a government shutdown.

Let's be very clear.

Trump is shutting down the government because he refuses to give people their healthcare.

Instead of keeping healthcare funding going, he handed billionaires tax breaks.

This is 100% about stealing from us to give to the rich.

Trump is now in the Oval Office saying the shutdown gives him an excuse to cut Social Security and Medicare.

This whole thing is only coming to a head because he stole healthcare funding to give billionaires tax breaks.

We are being scammed at the highest levels of government.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Trump isn't trying to keep the government open.

He's trying to steal healthcare to pay for his billionaire tax breaks.

Not on our watch.

Republicans just gave out trillions in tax cuts to billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Now they're trying to use a government shutdown to distract from the state of the economy.

It's a failure for working people and a boon for billionaires.

We see right through it.

They’d rather shut down the government than do their job and serve the people.

We need a budget that serves America, not just the richest 1%

Right now, Republicans are threatening our government, federal workers' jobs, spiked health premiums for millions of Americans so that they can protect trillions in tax cuts for the richest Americans.

Really.

Federal funding for research to prevent maternal deaths is set to expire.

Tax breaks for billionaires and billion-dollar corporations were just renewed.

We are making real choices every day on who is protected and served in this country.

And we deserve a whole lot better.

Solidarity!

Stop the Trump shutdown, fund healthcare for families over tax giveaways for billionaires!

Tell Congress: Reject a government funding bill that doesn't address our health crisis or hold the Trump administration accountable. The federal government is poised to shut down at midnight on September 30th unless Congress acts. After passing a partisan government funding bill, Speaker Mike Johnson has declared that the House wo...

The billionaires in charge don't care about a government shutdown. They don't care if federal workers are fired or work without pay.

But they do care about us calling them out in unison.

It's time to get loud and demand a budget that works for our entire country, not just them.
