I use the term super-wealthy because people are often worried that an increase in taxes will affect them. Most experts I spoke with were focused on taxing the richest people, people who bring home millions and millions or have net worths in the billions. This would allow for more programs to invest in underserved communities.

Farnoosh says, “I do find it problematic when the 50 richest Americans have as much wealth as half the U.S. I believe in the redistribution of the dollars in this country with the goal of supporting equity. I believe in taxing the rich more than others. I don't believe in trickle-down economics. I think the rich ought to pay a higher percentage in taxes and the government needs to give the working class a realistic opportunity to achieve wealth by reducing their taxes, and giving them more free access to things like healthcare, food, and housing.”²⁵
