Petition: Tax the Super-Rich — No One Should Be a Trillionaire

When one person can amass $1 trillion while millions struggle to afford basic necessities, something is deeply wrong. We’ve just hit that troubling milestone: Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire.

This didn’t just “happen.” Musk becoming a trillionaire is the direct result of policy choices that reward the ultra-rich and powerful corporations while leaving ordinary people behind. While the wealth of the super-rich continues to grow, one in four people worldwide face moderate to severe food insecurity. What’s more, nearly half the world lives in poverty.

It’s long past time to tax the super-rich and invest in workers and families.

Add your name to demand our lawmakers enact bold tax reforms that ensure the ultra-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
 

Sign the petition to urge Congress to tax the super-rich

Our tax system is broken, rigged in favor of the ultra-rich few and giant corporations while everyday people pay the price. As billionaire wealth hits historic highs and the world declares its first trillionaire in Elon Musk, ordinary families face a different reality: rising costs, stagnant wages, and underfunded essential services.

Extreme inequality is not inevitable—it’s the result of failed policy choices. Our tax code allows billionaires to often pay lower tax rates than working families, even as their wealth and political influence reach unprecedented levels.

The world's first trillionaire should not be a milestone we accept. It should be a wake-up call to end the growing divide between the ultra-rich and everyone else.

Making the ultra‑rich and big corporations pay their fair share can raise hundreds of billions for education, child and adult care, housing, food assistance, health care, worker protections, climate action, and more.

It’s time to tax the super‑rich and invest in workers and families to build an economy that benefits the majority, not just the ultra-wealthy few.
