This week marks the 10th anniversary of the Bush Tax Cuts that cost over $2.5 trillion, most of which went to superrich. [1]

Republican leaders in Congress want to reduce deficits with spending cuts that would devastate the economy, the middle class, seniors, children and low-income families. But House Speaker John Boehner says increasing taxes is "off the table."

Meanwhile, corporate tax dodgers like General Electric are paying zero taxes. Congress gives billions in subsidies a year to oil and gas companies like ExxonMobil. And millionaires are paying the lowest percentage of their income in actual taxes since the 1920s.

Tell Congress: No budget cuts until millionaires and corporations pay their fair share.

• Let the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy expire in 2012
• Raise tax rates on millionaires and billionaires through the Fairness in Taxation Act (HR 1124)
• Eliminate subsidies for the oil and gas industry.
• Eliminate tax breaks for corporate tax dodgers like General Electric
