It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas.

NETWORK strongly opposes HR 1 because the tax relief is highly regressive, providing most to high income individuals and major corporations (4.5 trillion), while failing to expand low income tax credits to lift working families out of poverty. This bill drives up our national debt by 3.5 trillion. Tax relief is \"paid for\" by gutting healthcare and food programs for families. The bill also encourages US job loss due to offshoring incentives. NETWORK support the Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act (S.3432 / H.R.6645) to help families affected by federally declared disasters by letting them use their previous year's income to calculate eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). NETWORK supports the following bills to tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations: Tax Wealth Over $50 Million Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act - Introduces a 2% annual tax on household net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, plus a 1% to 3% surtax on net worth over $1 billion. It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas. It would equalize foreign and domestic corporate tax rates that would incentivize offshoring investments. Strengthening Social Security and Medicare Scrap the payroll tax cap to fully fund Social Security and Medicare for next generations: Social Security 2100 Act - Applies the Social Security payroll tax to earnings over $400,000, closing the gap where high incomes were previously exempt.","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":64406,"prefix":null,"prefix_display":null,"first_name":"LAURA","nickname":null,"middle_name":"TRACY","last_name":"PERALTA-SCHULTE","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":true}],"government_entities":[{"id":2,"name":"HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES"},{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"}]},{"general_issue_code":"TRD","general_issue_code_display":"Trade (domestic/foreign)","description":"NETWORK supports urging them to use the upcoming mandatory six-year review of the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), to make significant and necessary improvements to the trade deal.

NETWORK strongly support the Tax Cut for Workers Act (H.R. 2764). This bill would Virtually triple the maximum value of the EITC for so-called childless workers from about $540 to about $1,500; extend the credit to both younger and older workers who are currently ineligible for the credit because of their age - delivering the credit to people ages 19 to 24 as well as 65 and older; and make the credit more accessible for adults aging out of the foster youth system. NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK strongly opposes HR 1 because the tax relief is highly regressive, providing most to high income individuals and major corporations (4.5 trillion), while failing to expand low income tax credits to lift working families out of poverty. This bill drives up our national debt by 3.5 trillion. Tax relief is \"paid for\" by gutting healthcare and food programs for families. The bill also encourages US job loss due to offshoring incentives. NETWORK support the Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act (S.3432 / H.R.6645) to help families affected by federally declared disasters by letting them use their previous year's income to calculate eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). NETWORK supports the following bills to tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations: Tax Wealth Over $50 Million Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act - Introduces a 2% annual tax on household net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, plus a 1% to 3% surtax on net worth over $1 billion. It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. * The Robinhood Act, a bill to tax billionaires by taxing loan when he/she borrows against stock options. Most billionaires are pay themselves in stock options which are not taxable. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas.
