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

A Closer Look: States are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich
It’s clearer than ever that the effects of the national rise in economic inequality are spilling over into local communities. With the federal government lacking the necessary urgency to respond to and address the crisis, states are taking matters into their own hands and proposing their own millionaire taxes. From coast to coast, officials have proposed all sorts of measures to raise the wealthy’s tax bills.
A Closer Look: Trump gives the economy a “W.” We give it a “K.”
According to President Trump, the state of America’s union is STRONG, the Golden Age is upon us, and “we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.” All true…for multimillionaires like us. For the 86% of Americans who are worried about the price of groceries? Not so much.
A Closer Look: What the Epstein files tell us about extreme wealth
Most of the reporting around the Epstein files has centered on the salacious and horrific allegations against members of Epstein’s elite inner circle contained in the troves of documents. Yet, there has been little public discussion about what the files reveal about how our “Second Gilded Age,” with its unprecedented concentration of wealth, not only shields perpetrators from accountability but makes their crimes possible in the first place.
A Closer Look: A lot to gain by raising taxes on the rich
For this week’s Closer Look, we’ll dive deeper into what The Washington Post Editorial Board got wrong about taxing the rich and income tax rates. Besides the fact they are blatantly shilling for their billionaire-owner Jeff Bezos, we think the Editorial Board is off-base on multiple fronts on their arguments.
A Closer Look: Here’s the skinny on the California wealth tax ballot measure
In late October, news broke that organizers in California had filed a measure, the “2026 Billionaire Tax Act,” to appear on the November 2026 ballot that would impose a one-time 5% tax on the state’s billionaires. Since then, there has been a relentless onslaught of panicked headlines that the proposal will lead the Golden State’s 200 or so billionaires to flee en masse.
A Closer Look: Time to win back our democracies before it’s too late
If there is one thing we want the world leaders at Davos this week to know, it’s this: it’s time to win back our democracies and shared futures by taxing the super rich before it’s too late.
A Closer Look: What we’ve learned in the five years since January 6th
Yesterday marked the five-year anniversary of one of the most shameful days in American history: the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. Time has not diluted our conviction that what we witnessed five years ago was an unprecedented attack on American democracy fueled by Donald Trump’s lies.
For our last Closer Look of 2025, we wanted to reflect on the year we’ve had by sharing our top five most read Closer Looks of the year, along with a few of our personal favorites. We’ll also share some notable hits we had in our traditional earned media and social media campaigns.
