Enough is enough! We, the people of Oregon, are kicking off a national movement for state-based wealth taxes! Your contribution, no matter where you live, will ignite the beginning of a fair tax revolution!
The Very Rich Pay Their Fair Share Act will create, if passed in November, a TWO PERCENT TAX on Oregon's wealthiest 4,600 taxpayers who have $30 million or more in wealth.
It will raise $2.7 billion for the needs of the people!*
Because it's *our* money: the people of Oregon create the wealth through their labor. We pay for the roads, schools and all of society's services through our taxes—and the very rich reap the benefits of our investment but don't pay a fair share.
We will win here—and, then, take the movement to the other 25 states with ballot referendum options. Because elected politicians are in the pockets of the very wealthy, we, the people, must act using the power of the ballot box.
DONATE TO THE CAMPAIGN: we will use the funds to gather signatures to qualify the act (we are well on the way!), outreach, social media, printing, paid media and modest staffing.
