Tax the Rich
Pay the People
Spread the Power

We’re a group of millionaires demanding a political economy that works for everyone in America, not just wealthy people like us.
Join our fight!

Tell President Biden: Free Charles Littlejohn!

Together with the Revolving Door Project, the Patriotic Millionaires have launched a grassroots letter campaign calling on President Biden to commute the prison sentence of Charles Littlejohn - the courageous IRS contractor who opened the nation's eyes to the massive scale of tax avoidance by the ultra-rich.

Our Priorities

Inequality in America hasn’t been this high since the Gilded Age, when robber barons like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller wielded massive wealth and influence. It’s now so extreme that it threatens the stability of our economy and our democracy.

But all hope is not lost. The good news is that the solutions to the problem are not complicated, and the Patriotic Millionaires have them all.

Tax the Rich

Wealthy Americans like us have rigged the tax code to give ourselves countless handouts, leaving working people paying higher rates than billionaires. We need to build a tax system that puts a check on the extreme inequality that threatens our economy and our democracy.

Pay the People

America is the richest country in the world, but tens of millions of workers still don’t make enough money to survive. We need to pay workers fairly in order to stabilize our economy, unlock new levels of growth, and ensure widely shared prosperity.

Spread the Power

In America today, lawmakers represent the interests and preferences of their donors and not their average constituents. We need to get big money out of politics and safeguard the right to vote to ensure everyone has their voice heard.

We have a responsibility to ensure that our planet is healthy and habitable for future generations. In my case as a person of wealth, I can only fulfill this responsibility if lawmakers strengthen their resolve to tax me more.”

It’s just basic business sense to recognize that workers are human beings, not disposable and replaceable cogs in a machine. When people are paid enough to feel a basic level of economic security, they will be stronger and more productive workers.”

Our New Year’s Resolution

Our New Year’s Resolution

Happy New Year! We hope that you and those close to you have had a wonderful start to 2025. We might be millionaires, but we’re no different than most when it comes to setting New Year’s resolutions. We think goal setting is important in any year and season, but especially this year as Republicans assume their “trifecta” of control in both chambers of Congress and the White House in less than two weeks.

Heard About Buy-Borrow-Die? Meet Buy-Hold for Decades-Sell

Billionaire investment gains that don’t escape tax entirely end up taxed far more lightly than most Americans realize. A ‘Billionaires Income Tax’ could fix that.
