I have proposed increasing tax enforcement for wealthy individuals and giant corporations.
Elizabeth Warren
The Public Record
Elizabeth Ann Warren is an American attorney, academic, and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Massachusetts since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she has been a prominent advocate for consumer protection, economic equality, and corporate regulation. Warren gained national recognition for her work in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and has focused on issues such as student debt relief and healthcare reform during her tenure in the Senate.
If a tax system is a statement of a country's values, then I really do question ours.
A wealth tax would impose an annual 2-cent tax on fortunes bigger than $50 million.
The tax system has been tilted towards the wealthy and powerful for far too long.
If our Government commits to buying climate-friendly goods and services, I think what you are saying is that we can leverage its massive purchasing power and our Government supply chain to shift to a clean and sustainable economy.
A recent poll showed that nearly 70 percent of voters support using Government contracts to prioritize buying American-made clean energy goods
We have a tremendous opportunity here to use our Government's enormous purse strings to help jumpstart the green economy and to make our environmental priorities of reducing carbon emissions that help fight climate change.
Where the Federal Government spends that money has a big impact on our economy, so making good use of taxpayer dollars means purchasing cost-effective products and supporting high-quality American jobs in the process.
Politicians and bureaucrats embracing harmful stereotypes about black Americans that can lead them to single out EITC recipients.
It means that it is being borne on the backs of black Americans and not where the true gap is.
It would give us a better, stronger, and more equitable tax system for all Americans.
The IRS's efforts to enforce our tax laws...don't focus on these wealthy taxpayers.
Nearly every component of tax law has a racial equity impact, but it is not just about what tax laws are on the books.
It would lead to 4,200 fewer deaths caused by air pollution every year, and it would save us about $100 billion a year in avoided health damages.
This legislation directs 40 percent of all funding to frontline communities that have been harmed by racist and unjust environmental practices.
Investing in clean vehicles, including transit vehicles, is important in reducing that impact.
Climate change is an existential threat to our planet and to our economy, and we just cannot wait any longer to make Federal investments necessary to reduce carbon emissions.
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and I will be reintroducing the IMPROVE Addiction Care Act this Congress.
