About the

Patriotic Millionaires

In Fall 2010, some of the country’s most financially successful citizens came together to urge the President to let the Bush tax cuts expire for people making more than $1 million per year. Today, the Patriotic Millionaires are a thriving group of 225+ members with over 180 million media impressions, leading the public charge on raising taxes on wealthy Americans – including themselves.

Over the last two years, the Patriotic Millionaires have stormed Washington, DC with their tax message, debated anti-tax guru Grover Norquist, slammed self-interested politicians on tax-policies harmful to the middle class, delivered a press conference with the President, and worked shoulder-to-shoulder with the White House to pass the 2012 American Taxpayer Relief Act.

In 2013, the Patriotic Millionaires will continue to dominate major media markets and renew pressure on Congress to reform the current tax system for the economic well-being of regular Americans. In addition, the Patriotic Millionaires will drive public attention toward issue-specific tax policies yet to be repaired, including: eliminating the carried interest loophole for hedge fund managers, limiting the total amount wealthy individuals can accumulate in tax protected IRAs and other retirement funds, and eliminating the mortgage interest tax deductions for second homes.

Letter to the

White House

Dear Mr. President,
Hon. Harry Reid, and Hon. John Boehner,

We are writing to urge you to put our country ahead of politics. For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000. We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more.

Our country faces a choice – we can pay our debts and build for the future, or we can shirk our financial responsibilities and cripple our nation’s potential.

Our country has been good to us. It provided a foundation through which we could succeed. Now, we want to do our part to keep that foundation strong so that others can succeed as we have. Please do the right thing for our country.

Raise our taxes.

Thank you,

Patriotic Millionaires
