Dear friends,   Life has never felt more expensive, with inflation driving up costs for everything from groceries to housing. Yet, despite this economic strain, the ultra-wealthy continue to amass enormous fortunes. In fact, wealth inequality in the United States is out of control, with the top 1% of households holding nearly 31% of all wealth while the bottom 50% hold just 2.6%.   Now, a new report from Oxfam reveals that within the next decade, five people are expected to become trillionaires. Four of them are in the U.S. — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Larry Ellison — and their wealth is projected to exceed an unfathomable amount.   Here's a gut-wrenching metaphor to put a trillion dollars into perspective: 1 million seconds is about 11 days. 1 billion seconds is about 31 years. 1 trillion seconds is over 31,688 years.   This kind of wealth is shameful, especially when so many Americans struggle to meet basic needs. It also means increasing power in the hands of a few, affecting everything from business to politics. These ultra-wealthy individuals are already influencing decisions that harm the public good. It's time for them to pay their fair share.   Sign the petition demanding that Congress raise taxes on the richest individuals and take action to address this growing economic disparity!

Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team
