America’s raging inequality is on display. The corrupting power of wealth and giant corporations has never been more clear. Billionaires are running Washington and unleashing a tsunami of big money and legalized bribery. We are living in a second Gilded Age.

Trump’s tax cuts handed yet another tax break to the rich and will only deepen inequality in this country.  Read more from our members featured in the The Washington Post on why it's time for a tax code that puts working people first by taxing the rich.  washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

The idea that millionaires will flee if taxed more is a scare tactic, one that protects the wealthy and stalls progress. Read this week’s Closer Look to learn the truth about the tax flight myth and why we must tax the rich: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives/m…

Auto debt: $1.6T Credit card debt: $1.18T Student debt: $1.77T Housing debt: $12.8T Medical debt: $220T 60% of US families can’t afford basic necessities, while the 19 richest added $1 trillion to their net worth last year. These are policy choices, and this is not sustainable.

Our members have spent 15 years making the case: paying fair taxes isn’t just patriotic, it’s good policy. We believe in a thriving country for all, not one where a single man becomes the first trillionaire while hardworking Americans struggle to get by. cnn.com/2024/09/17/bus…

With extreme poverty at one end of the scale and extreme wealth at the other - with difficult spending choices to make - a wealth tax makes good sense and is in any event a moral issue. The one reason we hear for not doing it (and it’s in this interview again) is rich people

To be clear, just 19 households in this country claimed half of all new wealth concentration, now holding nearly 2% of U.S. wealth over the last decade. That’s not just inequality, it’s extreme concentration of power.

When 19 families hold nearly 2% of U.S. wealth, that’s not just inequality—it’s an oligarchy. It’s time to address concentrated wealth and rewrite the tax code to serve everyone, not just a tiny elite. Read more from our SVP for tax policy, Bob Lord: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

We're living in an era of extreme economic inequality. That's why dozens of economists from leading UK & international universities support a wealth tax in the UK. H/T to our allies Patriotic Millionaires UK and Tax Justice UK: theguardian.com/business/2025/…

We made the front page of The Washington Post! Our movement to tax the rich is growing, and people are taking notice. Check out this week’s Closer Look to get the lowdown on the Post article we were featured in last week and how much attention it’s getting. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives/w…

Direct File was free, easy, and available to millions! The brainless decision by the Trump Administration to end it will cost Americans more money just to file their taxes. This administration is interested only in padding the pockets of big business, not helping regular folks!

We've earned some new followers recently. If that's you, here's what to know about us đź‘‹We're fighting against the destabilizing concentration of wealth & power in the US, & driving to build an economy built on a fair tax system, a livable wage, & equal access to political power.

Not to pile on, but the wealthy’s excessive consumption habits & investments explain their disproportionate contribution to the climate crisis. Vulnerable people around the world have done the least to cause climate change, yet they are the ones bearing the brunt of it.

DC voters spoke loud and clear: tipped workers deserve a livable wage. This week, the DC Council watered down Initiative 82 AGAIN to “compromise” with restaurant lobbyists. Protecting profits at the expense of restaurant workers is unacceptable. washingtonpost.com/food/2025/07/2…

Last year, the average S&P 500 CEO made $18.9 MILLION, while the average worker made $49,500. So much for “trickle down economics.” Tax the rich.

We have a tax system, in short, that favors the wealthiest Americans and fosters extreme wealth concentration, says Bob Lord of Patriotic Millionaires. commondreams.org/opinion/jeff-b…

Missouri voters said YES to paid sick leave. But Governor Kehoe caved to pressure from corporate lobbyists and overturned the will of the people. This would have given working parents & low-wage workers a lifeline without losing a paycheck. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Wages are stagnant, and thanks to the Republican budget bill, working people are forced to shoulder rising prices and a higher tax burden on dollars that just don't go as far as they used to. It's hitting people hard in their wallets—and their guts.
