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.

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

Happy Tax Day, America! Tax the Rich.

Here at the Patriotic Millionaires, Tax Day serves as a yearly reminder that the ultra-wealthy can bypass many of the frustrating hurdles in our tax code at the expense of working people— and that it’s on us to continually call on lawmakers to raise our taxes. But now more than ever, we need Congress to act urgently, as we are facing an inequality crisis so extreme that it threatens the essence of our democracy.
