US Billionaires 62% Richer Since Pandemic Hit -- Most of It 100% Tax-Free: Analysis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Before a reconciliation package to expand the nation's social safety net and advance renewable energy and other green industries can be enacted, however, the House must first approve the Senate-passed $3.5 trillion budget resolution now under consideration.
48% : The report points to numerous polls showing that large majorities of U.S. voters want the federal government to ensure that corporations and the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes, which would raise revenue to upgrade the nation's physical and social infrastructure.
47% : And yet, "because the current tax code is riddled with loopholes and special breaks that allow the super wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes," AFT and IPS noted in their new report, most of the $1.8 trillion in billionaire gains won't be taxed -- unless someone sells their assets or lawmakers unrig the tax system.
38% : Billionaires' ability to avoid taxation, however, would be limited if Congress were to hike taxes on corporations and the wealthy, and bolster enforcement to crack down on evasion.
