Every time Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, or Elon Musk take a trip on their private jet, you’re subsidizing it. Private jets make up one in six flights. But they contribute just 2% of the taxes to fund airports—while we pay 70%. It’s time to end that billionaire tax break.

"The billionaires who push Trump and his lies through their publications, think-tanks, and media outlets do so because they believe if he’s re-elected, they’ll get even more tax breaks and that Trump will continue his efforts to gut the IRS and EPA, which they hate.

~ Thom Hartmann

"What’s the only thing better than having your own Gulfstream jet? Why, getting to claim millions in tax deductions for it. All you have to do is make a case you’re using it for business, which turns out to be surprisingly easy."

The government could save the budget billions of dollars by winding back generous #superannuation benefits that effectively produce “taxpayer-funded inheritance schemes” for the wealthy, a new Grattan Institute report argues.

The “super savings” report says such #taxbreaks now cost $45bn a year, or 2% of GDP, and will soon exceed the age pension costs. Two-thirds of the breaks go to the top 20% of income earners who typically are already saving enough for retirement.

Let's get serious here: What this proposed law is really about is funneling tax breaks to white families so that they have more children -- ensuring white dominance in the state. The fact that a comparatively small number of non-white families will get tax breaks too is just to give cover to the racist intent of the proposed law.
