new video game, Needy Billionaires: Have you PAID your Billionaire today?
Needy Billionaires gives Americans the Big Picture about tax loopholes -- over half a TRILLION dollars that goes FROM the Bottom 90% and TO the Top 10% every year. I use a cartoon horror theme -- horror because most Americans are in the dark about loopholes, and cartoon because many people are intimidated by math.
It shows specific loopholes as well as Better Investments for our tax dollars that most Americans would agree with. Things like a) the Bottom 90% donates $49 Billion a year to pay the state and local taxes of the Top 10%, versus b) it would only cost $45 billion to double the amount of college grants each year for middle class kids so they don't end up with crushing student debt they can never get rid of. Unlike Needy Billionaire corporations that treat dumping their debt on the rest of us as a "strategic" bankruptcy.
Or we can continue to donate $11 billion to companies that pay their CEOs more than $1 million every year, or we can give 2.5 million Americans grants of $5,000 each to start their own businesses.
These are choices that our country is making right now. We can make better choices. Check out the game at:
