Issue Position: Creating an Economy that Works for Everyone

Issue Position

Our economy is changing fast, and we need to equip Americans with the tools they need to thrive in the new economy--not the old. That means investing in infrastructure, reimagining our education system, and rewriting the rules of our economy to build an America where hard work pays off.

We need to pass a Democratic Tax Reform that ensures everyone pays their fair share. That means at least:

Reversing the Trump tax cuts and raising the rates for corporations and top earners.

Taxing capital gains at the same rate as working Americans.

Funding the IRS so that tax shelters and tax cheats are audited, not ordinary Americans.

We also need to create equal opportunity in this country by closing school funding gaps, so that the quality of education does not depend on your zip code, improving workforce development programs to put more Americans in good paying jobs, and making college affordable to revive the American Dream that has been out of reach for so many.
