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.

International coverage includes: “Rich Man, Poor Man”, a major feature article in Dagens Nyheter, a Swedish newspaper; The Hindu, United Press International, Al Jazeera, MercoPress, International Business Times, Quoi?, and The Guardian, among others. Notably the President of the Czech Republic referenced the Patriotic Millionaires in his May 2013 address to the Czech Chamber of Deputies.

No one got rich on their own. No matter how you made your money, you used American roads, American education, and American laws to get there.

As @ewarren says, if you’re fabulously rich it’s time for you to pay back a little to make sure the next person can get there #DemDebate

About

The Patriotic Millionaires is a group of high-net worth Americans who share a profound concern about the destabilizing level of inequality in America. Our work centers on the two things that matter most in a capitalist democracy: power and money. Our goal is to ensure that the country’s political economy is structured to meet the needs of regular Americans, rather than just millionaires. We focus on three “first” principles: a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens.
