Here in Tennessee, it is so very rigged. We just finished the early voting and now tomorrow is the main election day. And guess what! The governor has called the legislators to come back to work tomorrow to redraw the map. Yes! Right on the day people are voting. They already divided Davidson County (Nashville) up into three districts several years ago and now are going to do the same thing to the Memphis area which is the last remaining blue district. While people are voting! Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggghh!
Here’s a significant way to impact this fall’s elections. Our democracy has become an oligarchy, a government in which a small group exercises control, especially for corrupt and selfish purposes. Now is the time to initiate a grassroots campaign to pursue the following. Several Democrats and progressive organizations have compiled separate tax reform proposals. I envision having these proposals consolidated into one bill that will benefit the vast majority of Americans. Having a consolidated bill, "True Tax Reform 2026: The Sequel," introduced to Congress well before this fall's elections will very well influence who individuals vote for based on a candidate's view on this bill. Please share this with your Democratic congressional representatives and others.
This is a list of proposals that can be consolidated into one bill:
Keep Your Pay Act: Cory Booker
Equal Tax Act: Senators Edward Markey, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and Jeff Merkley
Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Rashida Tlaib
Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Ro Khanna
Tax on Extreme Wealth and For the 99.8% Act: Senator Bernie Sanders
Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act: Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Don Beyer
The Ultra-Millionaires Tax: Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representatives Brendan F. Boyle and Pramila Jayapal
Defund the Oligarchs Resolution: Senator Elizabeth Warren
American Homeownership Act: Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jeff Merkley
21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott
Billionaires Income Tax Act: Senator Ron Wyden and Representatives Donald Beyer and Steve Cohen
The Money Agenda 250: Patriotic Millionaires
The Five & Dime Tax: Tax the Greedy Billionaires
Executive Summary: Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute
Court of International Trade Tariff Refunds: Senators Ron Wyden, Edward J. Markey, and Jeanne Shaheen
The Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2011: Senators Ron Wyden and Dan Coates
* Review provisions in H.R. 1 and executive orders- void and add provisions as needed.
Fairness is a visceral and fundamental mandate as a human soul. You can’t obliterate it easily. Human souls know what’s right and have fought forever to redeem the good.
