The “Who Pays?” Bus Tour

Billionaires Got a Break. You Got a Bill.

One year after Congress handed massive tax breaks to billionaires and powerful corporations, Americans everywhere are paying the price.

The Who Pays? Bus Tour is currently traveling across the country! See all the stops below and come back to our website as we add in more event details and RSVP page links.

The tour is pulling back the curtain on one simple question: Who benefited, and who got stuck with the bill?

At every stop, we are telling the local story behind the headlines. We’ll examine what happened after Washington shifted even more wealth and power to those at the top: schools stretched thinner, health care costs rising, food banks struggling, and working families asked to do more with less.

This tour isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about accountability. It’s about coming together to build a better future.

For decades, billionaires, corporate lobbyists, and their allies have rigged the rules to enrich themselves while telling everyone else to tighten their belts. The result is an economy where working people pay more, get less, and are often blamed for problems they didn’t create.

Families Over Billionaires Executive Director Kristen Crowell knows that story firsthand. Like millions of Americans, she spent years believing her financial struggles were personal failures before realizing the system was designed to benefit rich insiders at everyone else’s expense. She’s once again joining communities across America to expose how the game is rigged, and to build a movement to change it.

The Who Pays? Bus Tour is bringing together workers, parents, small business owners, educators, faith leaders, advocates, and local elected officials to share stories, connect the dots, and demand a tax system that works for everyone, not just the ultra-rich.

Because when billionaires get break after break, somebody else gets the bill.

It’s time for Americans to know who pays.
