Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.

And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.

People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Last week, @abigaildisney.bsky.social had a simple question: What’s best for America?

And for her and our members, it's the ultra-rich like them paying their fair share of taxes.

We are so grateful for members like @abigaildisney.bsky.social who are willing to share their experiences AND speak out about the extreme dangers extreme wealth poses to any society 💕
“I was born into wealth, and wealth just became more wealth. There is a thing as too much wealth, it’s bad for the world and it’s bad for those who own it, it’s alienating and morally corrosive." Abigail Disney at #IMFMeetings.

Teachers, nurses, and truck drivers pay higher tax rates than billionaires. That’s not just unfair, it’s a rigged system that punishes work and rewards wealth.

The #EqualTaxAct is a step toward fixing this injustice by making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as working people.

We think it's unfair that everyday workers get taxed more than billionaires living off investments. This two-tier system fuels inequality & threatens our democracy.

The #EqualTaxAct ends the rigged rules so the wealthy pay their fair share. equaltaxact.com

Right now, teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. That’s why we worked with @ramirez.house.gov to introduce the #EqualTaxAct to tax wealth like work and close the loopholes the ultra-rich exploit.

✅Closes billionaire loopholes

✅Raises revenue only from the rich

NEW: CEO pay has ballooned from 42x the average worker’s pay in 1980 to an outrageous 538x today, IPS @inequality.org researchers found. Wealth isn't trickling down, it's being vacuumed up.

There's a clear solution, says heiress @abigaildisney.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com: Tax people like her.

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement.

And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem.
