The “Super Bowl of Tax” is finally here. While Republicans haven’t passed their massive package, nor has President Trump signed anything yet, from what we’re seeing so far of their plans, there’s no doubt that they’re quarterbacking to give more tax handouts to wealthy people like us.
You may think that Bill Gates is doing the world an enormous service by giving away nearly all of his fortune over the next twenty years. But the truth is that he’d be doing us all an even greater service if he spent a portion of his remaining time and money doing everything he can to change our country’s political economy to ensure that wealth isn’t concentrated in the hands of so few people and that, in the future, no single individual is able to attain his level of wealth and power in the first place.
It’s not often we need to email you on a Monday, so if we are, it has to be for a good reason. And believe us, we have one: May 11, 2025 marked the official launch of Patriotic Millionaires Canada!
On Monday, the world marked two important beginnings: the start of President Donald Trump’s second term and the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland – better known as simply “Davos.” What we witnessed of the attendees at one event made us all the more confident in our demands of the attendees at the other.
Happy New Year! We hope that you and those close to you have had a wonderful start to 2025. We might be millionaires, but we’re no different than most when it comes to setting New Year’s resolutions. We think goal setting is important in any year and season, but especially this year as Republicans assume their “trifecta” of control in both chambers of Congress and the White House in less than two weeks.
Today, the Patriotic Millionaires joined forces with the Revolving Door Project to launch a grassroots letter campaign – housed at FreeCharlesLittlejohn.com – to urge President Biden to commute the prison sentence of Charles Littlejohn. For this week’s Closer Look, I want to tell you about Charles Littlejohn, make my case as to why he deserves clemency from the president, and do my best to encourage you to join our cause.
They say you can judge a person by the company they keep. Donald Trump, surrounded by his cadre of old and new billionaire friends, is the epitome of this truth.
Our members just finished gathering in Washington, DC this week to reflect on the past year, the outcome of last week’s election, and where we go from here. After a number of productive and engaging events, we feel ready to tackle the challenges that lie ahead in the new year.
A self-avowed authoritarian successfully wielded the economic frustrations of millions to win the most consequential election of our nation’s history. The Democratic establishment has only itself to blame. Voters demanded a fundamental overhaul of a rigged economic system. When neo-liberal Democrats dithered, Donald Trump offered to clear the board, and voters chose the dark unknown rather than the status quo.
In the final feverish stretch of the election, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with policy announcements, endless fundraising texts, and news cycles that seem to last only minutes. If you’re feeling exhausted, we get it – we’re right there with you.
It’s hard to believe that we are just 12 days away from Election Day. The Patriotic Millionaires have never minced words, and we’re not going to start now: the stakes are extraordinarily high.
If you were a rich Wisconsinite striving to get even richer and you had little regard for intellectual honesty or the well-being of your fellow citizens, you would agree with Sen. Ron Johnson’s remarks at last month’s Senate Finance Committee hearing. Otherwise, you’d find the senator’s views troublesome, to say the least.
How Billionaires’ Political Spending Undermines Our Democracy
When they bankroll electoral candidates to the tune of millions, billionaires claim they are merely exercising their First Amendment right to free speech. And while the Supreme Court and current law might be on their side, their political “largesse” is a dangerous subversion of our democracy.
America is suffering from twin wage and tax crises, and today, the Patriotic Millionaires are excited to announce a bold, innovative solution we’ve worked on with our allies on the Hill! Today, with support from our organization and a number of cosponsors, Representative Summer Lee (PA-12) has introduced the American Stability Act.
