You know, there are 1,000 billionaires in America.
You know what the average federal tax is for those billionaires?
No.
They're making great sacrifices, 8.2%.
That's far less than the vast majority of Americans pay.
No billionaire should pay a lower federal tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker, or a nurse.
I propose...
Minimum tax for billionaires of 25%, just 25%.
You know what that would raise?
That would raise $500 billion over the next 10 years.
And imagine what that could do for America.
Imagine a future with affordable childcare.
Millions of families can get the need to go to work to help grow the economy.
Imagine a future with paid leave because no one should have to choose between working and taking care of their sick family member.
Imagine, imagine the future of home care and elder care and people living with disabilities so they can stay in their homes and family caregivers can finally get the pay they deserve.
Send me a bipartisan national security bill.
History is literally watching.
History is watching.
If the United States walks away, it will put Ukraine at risk.
Europe is at risk.
