Want to know what patriotism actually looks like? Just ask @abigaildisney.bsky.social, who supports raising taxes on super rich people like herself. Our members are clear: They want a rich, stable, and free country. That begins with an economy that ensures it.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Teachers, nurses, and truck drivers pay higher tax rates than billionaires. That’s not just unfair, it’s a rigged system that punishes work and rewards wealth. The #EqualTaxAct is a step toward fixing this injustice by making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as working people.
