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!

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.”

Please Tell Whitmer and Brinks to Save the Raise in Michigan!

If you are just tuning into the cacophonous hammering of one of the final nails in the Democratic Party’s coffin, don’t worry, you still have time to stop the economic and political fiasco unfolding in Michigan before it’s too late.

Patriotic Millionaire to Governor Whitmer: Don’t Sign Senate Bill 8

Patriotic Millionaire to Governor Whitmer: Don’t Sign Senate Bill 8

I am writing to you to strongly ask you to NOT sign Senate Bill 8. I am a Michigander that lives in Oregon. I pay more in state taxes to Michigan than I do to Oregon, so I feel I have a say about what values the state of Michigan is run on.

Whitmer Makes Her Choice: Presidential Material or Empty (Pink) Suit?

Whitmer Makes Her Choice: Presidential Material or Empty (Pink) Suit?

Happy Presidents’ Day. Let’s talk about 2028 presidential hopeful Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. To the many top Democrats hoping this pink-suited, plain-spoken Midwesterner can pull a victorious phoenix from the ashes of the Democratic party, a note of caution: “Big Gretch” is three days away from tossing a bucket of ice cold water on your barely smoldering embers.
