SUPPORT FAIR TAXATION
Fair Taxation Project
Building an Economy That Works for Everyone

Abigail Disney is an outspoken advocate for fair taxation and a powerful example of the kind of leadership this project aims to reflect. She has urged lawmakers to tax extreme wealth more fairly, including wealth and investment income, and has said the tax system should better reflect the responsibilities of those who benefit most from the economy.
Why this matters now:
- Wealth inequality is at historic highs
- Essential public services are underfunded
- The tax code has not kept pace with modern wealth structures
- Public trust in institutions depends on fairness and transparency
Fair taxation is one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) tools we have to strengthen democracy. At its core, it’s about a simple principle: those who benefit the most from our economic system should contribute their fair share to sustain it.
Over the past several decades, the United States has seen a growing imbalance in how wealth is taxed. While working families pay taxes on nearly every dollar they earn, many of the wealthiest individuals and largest corporations are able to minimize their tax burden through loopholes, preferential rates, and complex financial strategies. The result is not just inequality- but underfunded schools, strained healthcare systems, and infrastructure that falls short of what Americans deserve.
Support
This is not about punishing success. It’s about restoring balance and responsibility.
Understand
Leaders and advocates, including voices like Abigail Disney and organizations such as Patriotic Millionaires, have been making a compelling case: a fairer tax system strengthens capitalism, stabilizes our economy, and preserves democracy itself.
Participate
When the ultra-wealthy pay proportionally less than teachers, nurses, and small business owners, trust in the system erodes. But when everyone contributes fairly, we create the resources needed to invest in education, healthcare, climate solutions, and economic opportunity for all.
Our Goal is Simple:
To support policies and public awareness efforts that promote a fair, transparent, and effective tax system – one that rewards hard work, encourages innovation, and ensures that prosperity is shared.

A Question to Consider
If a billionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than a middle‑class worker is the system working as intended, or is it time for change?
