Our Priorities

America currently faces two interrelated problems: 1) authoritarianism and 2) the destabilizing level of inequality that led to its rise. If we do not solve both problems, democratic capitalism in America will fall to authoritarian forces by 2028. The fall of democratic capitalism in America will open the door to global oligarchic dominance which, exacerbated by AI and climate change, will become permanent.

The solution to this problem is surprisingly simple: structure the economy so that it naturally produces the results needed for a rich, stable and free nation.

Wear Our Values

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.

“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

Taxing the Rich Is Incomplete Without Repair

We see our four-part legislative platform, The MONEY Agenda, as a way for lawmakers to tax the rich, make up for the Founders’ failings, and finally do something meaningful to put a check on excessive wealth. But in a new opinion piece for Nonprofit Quarterly out yesterday, one of our members, Nicole Piccinini Pesco, eloquently makes the case that we need reparations in addition to tax reform to fully atone for our nation’s sins and achieve racial and economic justice.

Following our Spring Symposium in April, we gave you a rundown of the top media hits we received in the spring. It’s been three months, but our momentum in the media shows no signs of slowing down. Instead of making you poke around the internet for all these hits, we’ve compiled them all in one place for you so you can catch up with ease!

A Closer Look: We support a tax on thousand millionaires

When the world’s leading expert on wealth inequality says that the California billionaire tax could be the turning point to kickstart the national and international movement to tax extreme wealth, you believe him. And when he reaches out to you personally to ask for your support of the measure, you give it.

A Closer Look: Democracy Dies in Darkness

The Washington Post's slogan warns us that “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” In true Orwellian fashion, its Editorial Board is showing us how.

A bold, surprisingly simple economic vision.

Tax the Rich.

Pay the People.
