Unlike President Trump and congressional Republicans, we’re not letting go of our proposal to raise taxes on the rich. While they may have ideas and “concepts of a plan,” we are the ones with a legitimate, well-constructed legislative agenda that will deliver real and substantive relief to working people.
At a press conference in August 2024, while standing in front of a table stacked with grocery staples, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump said, “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.” We’re now officially 100 days into Trump’s second presidency, and not only did the president break that promise, but he is actively pursuing a policy agenda that will make America’s checkout lines wildly more expensive than they already are.
We don’t think it’s too much to ask to have an IRS that is equipped to collect the taxes that Americans owe and to help working people file their returns without undue burden. It’s a pity that the Trump administration disagrees.
The nightmare scenarios anti-tax groups paint ignore the huge impact of ‘buy-hold for decades-sell’ tax avoidance on the taxes our ultra-rich end up paying.
Democrats Have Six Months to Get Their Act Together

In their quest to win back the working-class vote, Democrats have recently taken one step forward and two steps back. For this week’s Closer Look, we’d like to tell you about these steps – and what we believe Democrats need to do to get on the right track.
Democrats need a tax life raft in Trump’s flood zone
President Trump has been in office for nine days, but it feels more like nine years in light of how much his administration has already managed to do and change.
On Monday, the world marked two important beginnings: the start of President Donald Trump’s second term and the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland – better known as simply “Davos.” What we witnessed of the attendees at one event made us all the more confident in our demands of the attendees at the other.
Happy New Year! We hope that you and those close to you have had a wonderful start to 2025. We might be millionaires, but we’re no different than most when it comes to setting New Year’s resolutions. We think goal setting is important in any year and season, but especially this year as Republicans assume their “trifecta” of control in both chambers of Congress and the White House in less than two weeks.
Heard About Buy-Borrow-Die? Meet Buy-Hold for Decades-Sell
