Did you know that about 55,000 millionaires pay a lower effective tax rate than millions of middle-income Americans?

On Monday, April 16, the U.S. Senate will debate and vote on the "Buffett Rule," which guarantees that millionaires will no longer pay a lower share of taxes than working people.Tell your Senator now to join you in supporting tax fairness with a yes vote on the Buffett Rule.
