Billionaires for Budget Cuts is a piece of satire created by Connecticut Working Families to draw attention to elected leaders who aim to protect the very wealthy at the expense of average families.
Billionaires for Budget Cuts is a diverse group of insurance company CEOs, bailed-out Wall Street executives and hedge fund managers, united to stop even a penny increase in taxes on the very rich, even if it means slashing healthcare and education.
But we’re all united in a belief in government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
The Billionaires have appeared several times to offer champagne toasts to politicians refusing to consider raising taxes on the truly rich as a way to close the budget deficit. Taxes are for little people!
The Billionaires have a devoted fan club. Check here for photos, videos and blog posts of the Billionaires in action.
