Patriotic Millionaires

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.

Meet The Millionaires

Morris Pearl

“I’m not any more altruistic than the next guy. I’m just greedy for a different kind of country.”

Abigail Disney

“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.”

John Driscoll

“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 Perspectives

Working people are the real job creators

It’s a tale as old as time: if you give the wealthy and corporations special tax breaks, they will invest their savings into the broader economy, which ultimately creates jobs and benefits everyone in the long run.

Our definition of patriotism is different than Trump’s

We recognize in times like this, it can be challenging to feel patriotic when faux patriotism is being used to tout tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the most vulnerable in our communities. That is why we here at Patriotic Millionaires would like to use both this Independence Day and this week’s Closer Look to reflect on what patriotism actually means, and to remind ourselves why we call ourselves the “Patriotic Millionaires.”

“Recession indicators” are right on the money

“Recession indicators” have been all the rage on social media over the last month. To avid scrollers, anything that was popular during the 2008 financial crisis that’s now making a comeback – from knee-high Converse sneakers, to Lady Gaga being back on the charts, to “Mamma Mia!” being back on Broadway – all signify that a recession is looming in America.

Response to Blue Dog op-ed

Recently, members of Congress, part of the Blue Dog caucus, published an op-ed in The Hill, asking readers: Our constituents have to balance their budgets every month—why can’t the federal government do the same?
