A Closer Look: Join us at “HOW TO WIN, Tax the Rich, and Save the World.”
After teasing you a bit last week about our 2026 Spring Symposium, “HOW WE WIN, Tax the Rich, and Save the World,” we’re thrilled to officially bring you into the fold and invite you to join us virtually for what we think will be one of the best events of the year. In just five days, you’ll be able to stream an event unlike any other.
It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means we’re seeing new reports about the job numbers from March 2026. The headlines say that unemployment dropped from 4.4% in February to 4.3% in March. That is good and welcomed news. But, it is not the full story and I want to explain a bit more about what is behind that number.
Seeing how today is also April Fools’ Day, we thought we’d have a little fun with the holiday—with a Patriotic Millionaires’ twist, of course. Unlike most, we aren’t spending the day cooking up elaborate pranks to play on our loved ones or coworkers. Instead, we created a list of our top five “April Tax Fools.”
A Closer Look: Demystifying the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act
My name is Holli Woodings, and I’m the Vice President of Government Affairs here at Patriotic Millionaires where I oversee our legislative, policy, and political work. Previously I’ve served as the President of Boise City Council, as a State Representative in the Idaho Legislature, and as a Senior Fellow at the National Institute for Civil Discourse here in Washington, DC.
Like many Americans, one of our favorite films to watch this time of year is Frank Capra’s 1946 It’s a Wonderful Life. Outside of being a holiday classic, it is consistently ranked as one of the greatest movies ever made.
When we think about the holidays and the season of giving, we can’t help but feel some nostalgia for Toys “R” Us, the toy superstore which closed its doors in 2018. But in all honesty that nostalgia brings with it anger towards the two-word culprit responsible for Toys “R” Us’ demise: private equity.
That’s a Wrap: Patriotic Millionaires’ 2025 Fall Member Summit
Last week, our millionaire members flocked to Washington, D.C., from every corner of the country to do two hugely important things: discuss the biggest problem plaguing America today—MONEY—and get the message out about the solution we have to it: The MONEY Agenda.
A Closer Look: Obscene CEO pay is bad for business and society
CEOs getting paid 281 times more than their workers is most assuredly a problem. But one CEO receiving a trillion-dollar pay package that’s 17 million times more than what their workers are paid is a whole different story.
A Closer Look: Zohran gave Democrats a blueprint to win
We’ve been saying this for years, but Zohran Mamdani’s victory last night in the New York City mayoral election made it abundantly clear: economic populism is the way forward for Democrats to win back the affections of working people.
A Closer Look: Ghosts, witches, vampires…and broligarchs?!
We are in the final days of “spooky season,” but luckily for us, we don’t get scared by all the ghosts, witches, vampires, and black cats that make a big appearance this time of year. But what we are spooked by is the inner workings of the minds of broligarchs.
A Closer Look: To billionaire or not to billionaire, that is the question
There are nuanced conversations to be had in defining how much is too much when it comes to personal wealth. Today, we’re ready to take on that challenge and start by saying this: $1 billion is more than enough.
A Closer Look: Extreme wealth is a global problem. We have global solutions.
If money knows no borders, it shouldn’t be surprising that neither does our message. It’s universal and relevant to countries across the globe. That’s why each fall and spring, it’s important to us that we take our message to some of the world’s brightest economic and financial leaders during the Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Today is my birthday. Some people do not like their birthdays. I am not one of those people. I love my birthday. People have to be nice to you and you can pretty much do/say whatever you want (within reason). For my birthday this year, I asked the Patriotic Millionaires’ team if I could write this week’s Closer Look, our normally calm, measured, and eminently reasonable weekly thought piece about the economy. Shockingly they said yes, which I’m absolutely sure has nothing to do with the fact that I’m the boss.
