The Tax Fairness Pledge (For the 2006 Tax Year)

Tax cuts for the wealthy are hurting our country. You can help stop them.

The lion's share of the tax cuts are going to wealthy people. Now, more than ever, it's crucial we take a public stand against them.

Tax cuts are draining our nation of its capacity to preserve vital services, invest in research and infrastructure, build a strong and sustainable economy, and assure fairness and opportunity.
