Patriotic Millionaires

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

States are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich

It’s clearer than ever that the effects of the national rise in economic inequality are spilling over into local communities. With the federal government lacking the necessary urgency to respond to and address the crisis, states are taking matters into their own hands and proposing their own millionaire taxes. From coast to coast, officials have proposed all sorts of measures to raise the wealthy’s tax bills.

Trump gives the economy a “W.” We give it a “K.”

According to President Trump, the state of America’s union is STRONG, the Golden Age is upon us, and “we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.” All true…for multimillionaires like us. For the 86% of Americans who are worried about the price of groceries? Not so much.

How early labor laws excluded Black Americans

My name is Dr. Kaitlyn Henderson. I joined the Patriotic Millionaires four months ago as the organization’s Senior Director of Wage Policy and Legislative Affairs. I came from Oxfam America, where I was the Senior Researcher leading their domestic portfolio on wages and labor and the staff-elected board member.

A bold, surprisingly simple economic vision.

Tax the Rich.

Pay the People.
