Where I Stand

Tax the Rich. Tax the Rich. Tax the Rich.

From 1989-2024, almost every class of American saw their share of wealth go down, but the top 1% got WAY richer. Those 1% own nearly a third of the wealth in the U.S. In just the last 5 years, the top 0.1% almost doubled their wealth from $12 Trillion to $22 Trillion. An economy that allows billionaires to buy multiple yachts, vacation homes, and your politicians, while the bottom 50% can barely afford rent and child care isn’t an economy that is working for us. I don’t think it’s the avocado toast or the extra coffee that’s causing these issues.

That’s why I would support and propose solutions that would aggressively tax the ultra-wealthy to make them pay their fair share so that we can invest in a fair economy for ALL Americans and Nevadans. 

What I’ll Do

Here is how we change this growing wealth gap:

• TAX THE RICH

  • Raising Capital gains tax rates for the wealthy based on net wealth. Aggressively raise rates for the ultra wealthy.

  • Raising income tax rates for wealthy and ultra wealthy.

• Stop corporations and ultra-wealthy from avoiding their tax obligations

  • Reform the tax code to close tax avoidance schemes

  • Impose a real corporate tax (proposed by Senator Elizabeth Warren)

  • Reinvest in government agencies that hold corporations accountable

• Provide consumer protections to limit excessive price gouging

• Raise the federal minimum wage to a livable wage of at least $17 dollars an hour

I’ll be closely working with economists and other budgetary experts to continue to explore ways to curb the wealthy’s assault on average Americans.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just unfair, it’s dangerous. Wealth inequality at these levels often leads to economic instability, generational poverty, limited access to quality education, and lack of access to quality healthcare. If the data continues to trend this way, we lose the American dream. That’s why we need to make the wealthy pay their fair share so that struggling Americans can meet their basic needs and have the chance to succeed.
