The Patriotic Millionaires have generated literally hundreds of millions of dollars of media coverage both at home and abroad. Please see our Patriotic Millionaires REEL for highlights of our media coverage.

The Patriotic Millionaires group first came together in 2010 to demand an end to the Bush tax cuts for millionaires, instantly sparking the public’s attention. Since then, the group has generated hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of media attention, appearing on outlets from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart to the PBS NewsHour; from the front page of the Boston Globe to The History Channel; from The Atlantic to Bloomberg.

In the last two years, we have placed more than 60 op-eds in local and national outlets. Highlights include two New York Times op-eds, Alan Patricof’s piece titled “Close My Loophole” on the carried interest loophole and Morris Pearl’s on SEC disclosure.

State and local media coverage is essential to changing public opinion. Highlights include: Geoff Coventry in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; Leo Hindery in Albany Times Union; Jonathan Ruga in Deseret News; Stephen Prince in the Tennessean; Frank Patitucci in the Mercury News; Dal LaMagna in The Scranton Times-Tribune; Art Lipson in The Salt Lake Tribune; Mary Stranahan in the Missoulian; and Severin Beliveau in the Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel.

National coverage includes: New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, ABC News, MSNBC, NPR, Business Week, CNN, PBS News Hour, CBS News, National Journal, Reuters, Salon.com, Huffington Post, Roll Call, The Wall Street Journal Blog, Forbes, CBS Sunday Morning, Business Insider, The O’Reilly Factor, Politico, CBS Radio, NY Magazine, The Weekly Standard, Daily Kos, Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, Mother Jones, CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, TIME, Bloomberg, and The Ed Show, among others.

Local coverage includes: Albany Times Union, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, Sun Sentinel, Planet Washington, Daily Press (Hamptons Roads Virginia) The 33 TV (Dallas/Fort Worth), Portland CW, wdbj7.com (Virginia), The Morning Call (Lehigh PA), WGNTV Chicago, Hartford Courant (Hartford CT), Pasadena Weekly, WTOP (Washington DC), Star New Online (Wilmington NC), The News & Observer (Raleigh, NC), Topeka Capital Journal Online (Topeka, KS), Sacramento Bee, Kansas City Post, and UT San Diego.

Notably the President of the Czech Republic referenced the Patriotic Millionaires in his May 2013 address to the Czech Chamber of Deputies.

Patriotic Millionaires

Proud “traitors to their class,” members of the Patriotic Millionaires are high-net worth Americans, business leaders, and investors who are united in their concern about the destabilizing concentration of wealth and power in America. The mission of The Patriotic Millionaires organization is to build a more stable, prosperous, and inclusive nation by promoting public policies based on the “first principles” of equal political representation, a guaranteed living wage for all working citizens, and a fair tax system:

1. All citizens should enjoy political power equal to that enjoyed by millionaires;
2. All citizens who work full time should be able to afford their basic needs;
3. Tax receipts from millionaires, billionaires and corporations should comprise a greater proportion of federal tax receipts.

This is ridiculous.

Perspective | If it weren’t for the estate tax, the majority of the superwealthy’s money would never be taxed

The estate tax usually isn’t a double tax. It’s often the only tax that the dynastically wealthy pay.

We need a tax code that ACTUALLY tackles wealth inequality. And we NEED to tax the rich.

Patriotic Millionaires

The tax code treats all 1 percenters the same. It wasn’t always this way.

Looking at where the brackets fall, rather than what the rates are, tells an interesting story.
