Americans could get $3,000 checks under new bill see who qualifies

Americans Could Receive $3,000 Check: About 938 U.S. billionaires could fund a major relief plan. Under a new bill from Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna, Americans could receive a $3,000 check through a 5% billionaire wealth tax. The proposal targets households earning $150,000 or less. A family of four could receive $12,000. Lawmakers estimate $4.4 trillion in revenue over 10 years. The bill aims to reduce wealth inequality while supporting healthcare, childcare, and housing programs.
