Using Tax Reform to Address Income Inequality:
Strengthening America’s Middle Class

November 12, 1:00 p.m. ET

It’s been almost two years since President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Unfortunately, the concerns expressed then about the legislation have largely been realized. The biggest corporations and wealthiest Americans have benefited significantly, the middle class has seen little gain, the wealth gap has widened, and the federal debt has skyrocketed. The growth of income inequality over the past decade has convinced millions of Americans that our economy is failing them.

Income inequality in the United States is at a 50-year high, with the gap between rich and poor widening every year. As the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, our economy becomes less vibrant, less stable, and less competitive. If we want to set our economy (and all the businesses and workers that it contains) up for success in the 21st century, we need to tackle economic inequality on a systemic level, and the only way to do so is to begin taxing the wealthiest Americans more aggressively. Sweeping, progressive tax reform is the only way we can begin to undo decades of wealth concentration and start to invest back in building a healthy, prosperous middle class, the backbone of the American economy.
