No one likes filing their taxes, but this year Tax Day is even worse because Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and their billionaire friends are rigging the system against everyday Americans to line their own pockets.  

• • Because of Elon’s illegal and reckless cuts, it’s now easier than ever for ultra-wealthy tax cheats to avoid paying what they owe, but harder for working class taxpayers to file their taxes. 

  • Last year, the IRS launched a new platform called Direct File, which made filing taxes simple and free for more than 140,000 Americans where it was piloted. Now? Trump and Musk want to get rid of it, despite nearly 73% of filers saying they want to use it. 

  • All the while, Republicans in Congress are going to use the money Musk steals from vital programs to give trillions in tax breaks to billionaires like him.

Trump, Musk, and Republicans in Congress are pushing a billionaire-first tax plan that gives massive handouts to the ultra-wealthy, while forcing everyone else to pay the price.

• • 70% of their tax plan’s benefits go to the richest 5% while costs go up for the bottom 40% of Americans.

  • To fund those tax breaks for the wealthy, their plan slashes trillions in funding from Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and other essential services, including: 

    • Millions kicked off their health insurance

    • Taking away school meals from children in need

    • Higher health care, housing, and grocery costs

A majority of Americans – across party lines – oppose cutting taxes for billionaires:

• • More than 75% of Americans support raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, including more than 60% of Republicans. 

  • Most Americans (83%) believe that corporations and the ultra-wealthy don’t pay their fair share in taxes. 

  • Three in four Americans are concerned about Republicans' plans to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy by defunding critical programs. 

Tax Day will remind millions of Americans of the challenges they’re facing just to get by, while politicians in Washington prioritize their wealthy donors over working families. As we’ve seen all across the country, the American people won’t let Congress get away with betraying working families

Care is taxing—in every sense of the word. When our tax dollars flow to billionaire tax breaks instead of to care systems we all need, care becomes emotionally and financially draining—not because of personal shortcomings, but because systems are deliberately designed to fail most people in the U.S.. 

This isn't about individual responsibility—it's about broken systems that demand collective solutions. 

Our fight is to redirect resources from the wealthy few to care systems that serve everyone.

Key Talking Points

• The struggle to find, afford, and provide care isn't a personal shortcoming—it's the result of systems designed to fail most people in the U.S..

• Our tax contributions aren't just expenses—they're investments in the systems that allow all of us to thrive. 

• We must redirect public resources from wealth concentration to care infrastructure that serves everyone, not just those who can afford it.

• When Medicaid and other care programs are cut, the impacts ripple through families' economic security, workforce participation, health outcomes, and community stability. 

• Everyone deserves to give and receive care with dignity. Collectively funding care infrastructure makes that possible.

• Public investments in care create tangible benefits for everyone: stronger communities, more resilient local economies, and support systems that work when we need them. 

• Tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy leave care systems underfunded. That leaves families carrying the weight.

• 💸 YOU PAID MORE IN TAXES THAN A BILLIONAIRE.

While you’re taxed on every paycheck, billionaires go years without paying anything!  How is that fair? 

We’re joining ATF’s Tax Day Campaign to demand justice. 

• 🏥 Our taxes should fund us—not the wealthy.

Where should your tax dollars go? Healthcare, Education, Infrastructure?

This Tax Day, we’re calling for fairness and accountability.

• 💸 The System is Rigged.
  When billionaires make money from stocks, they pay a lower tax rate than you do on your paycheck. 

📊 60% of Americans want to raise the top capital gains tax rate to match the top income tax rate

It's time for a system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.

• People and corporations with excessive wealth continue to control our government—making decisions that harm everyday Americans while enriching billionaires who hoard resources and exploit our communities.

This Tax Day, we're standing up and saying: Enough is enough.

• Across the country, Americans overwhelmingly support taxing the wealthy. Yet while the rich keep getting richer, our vital social services are being slashed—schools underfunded, hospitals closed, and families left without the care and support they need to thrive.

What motivates Americans who are on the fence to support taxing the rich? Keeping the focus on working people and families as drivers of the economy is key. Learn more in the latest research from EWDi: https://www.excessivewealth.org/persuasion-messaging-report
