Seven years ago today, Tamir Rice was murdered.

He should still be with us. We must honor his life with action, organizing for racial justice and real accountability for law enforcement.

The #PandoraPapers show that the power players who could help bring an end to the offshore system are instead benefiting from its stashing assets in covert companies and trusts.

Zambia’s PWYP found a legal loophole allowing mining corps to avoid paying land-use fees. If corps don't pay what they owe, govt can't provide services communities deserve. Read the report here: https://t.co/bbxJfsEJoD

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Corporations are supposed to pay a 21% tax rate. But over the last three years, Amazon wriggled its way into so many exceptions that they only paid 4.3% of their $45 billion in profits. My Real Corporate Profits Tax Act would bypass those loopholes and make them pay a fair share.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

What else do you need to know about our rigged economy beyond the fact that the richest 1 percent of Americans are able to evade $163,000,000,000 in taxes every. single. year?

[Africans Rising @AfricansRising]

Africa is a rich continent. That wealth belongs to all our people, not to a narrow political and economic elite.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Billionaire wealth increases during the pandemic:

Jeff Bezos- $75 billion
Warren Buffett- $37.5 billion
Elon Musk- $150.8 billion

Billionaire true tax rate:

Jeff Bezos- .98%
Warren Buffett- .1%
Elon Musk- 3.27%

Tax the rich.
