People with this much money do not want to pay more in taxes because they know their money is power. They know their money buys political influence and policies that benefit them. Their greed comes at the cost of societal well-being. www.reuters.com/world/france...

This week’s Closer Look tells a story about how our money always wins, even when there’s no fight at all. That’s how rigged our tax code is: it rewards wealth over work and fuels extreme inequality.

We’re here at the Dublin Peanut Festival in Bladen County, North Carolina, talking with folks about how our tax code is rigged for the wealthy. Good news, we have a solution for that! A working class tax cut, paid for by millionaires like our members.

Billionaires claim their wealth is just “on paper.” Funny, since they borrow against it to buy yachts, mansions, even companies. This week’s Closer Look shows how the #EqualTaxAct & Billionaires Income Tax would ensure ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

A McDonald’s cashier pays taxes every week. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk choose if they ever pay. That’s not a fair tax system, it’s rigged. This week’s Closer Look shows how the #EqualTaxAct & Billionaires Income Tax would finally change that. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

The French are staying true to their history, as they have famously revolted against wealth inequality before. In order to fight back against the global oligarchical coup, we need countries everywhere to #TaxTheRich: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/b...

Teachers, nurses, and truck drivers pay higher tax rates than billionaires. That’s not just unfair, it’s a rigged system that punishes work and rewards wealth. The #EqualTaxAct is a step toward fixing this injustice by making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as working people.

This differences we see today between CEO and worker pay are because the corporate world and our government officials prioritized short-term greed over the long-term health of our economy and society. The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act could change all that: www.help.senate.gov/dem/newsroom...

Billionaires are taking joyrides into space while the workers who make this country run are sleeping in their cars. That’s the reality of our broken tax code and rigged economy. If politicians want to be the “party of the working class,” we say PROVE IT! Pass the #EqualTaxAct.

Throughout history, dictators feared teachers for empowering young people to think critically & challenge propaganda. @rweingarten.bsky.social’s new book Why Fascists Fear Teachers shows why protecting public education is essential to defending democracy. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/779831...

The fact that so 👏 many 👏 seniors 👏 in our country need to get a job the supplement their retirement accounts, or Social Security, just to get by is the sign of an unwell economy and society. www.businessinsider.com/older-worker...

Republicans tried to sell the public on their budget bill by claiming there were tax cuts in there for working people. So how are they going to explain that Trump's tariffs are bigger than his tax cuts by the tune of thousands of dollars? www.cnn.com/2025/09/15/p...

“The government must crack down on tax dodging, especially by the super-rich, but it must go so much further than that if it wants to transform our country and have a fighting chance at the next election. It must raise taxes on the very richest.”

May your week be as wonderful as it felt for us to have our Board Chair Morris Pearl meet @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and give him a copy of our book, Pay The People!

Between 2010-2018, the richest 400 families paid an average 8.2% tax rate. In 2022, the average American paid a 14.5% rate. This wouldn’t happen if we had the #EqualTaxAct. Check out this week’s Closer Look to learn more: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

This weekend, we were proud to be at the 55th Annual Coharie Indian Cultural Pow Wow in Sampson County, NC. We took our message to working people: no one working full-time should be taxed into poverty. That’s why we’re demanding a working-class tax cut paid for by millionaires like our members.

A nurse working the night shift pays a higher tax rate than a billionaire selling stock from the beach. That’s not a bug in our system, it’s by design. This week’s Closer Look explains why the #EqualTaxAct is the right solution. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Our money vs. your sweat—that’s America’s tax code. And our money has been crowned the winner. For this week’s Closer Look, we break down how our tax code unfairly pits our money against your sweat and how our bill the #EqualTaxAct can fix it. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

🔥💵 Chuck Collins from @patrioticmillionaires.org shares why he is taking action to #DrawTheLine against rising inequality and is calling on the super-rich to stop exacerbating climate impacts at the expense of the rest of us. This September, join an event near you: drawtheline.world

Billionaires shouldn’t pay lower tax rates than working people. That's why we're proud to endorse @ramirez.house.gov's #EqualTaxAct which ends this rigged system by taxing wealthy investors’ income the same as workers’ wages. equaltaxact.com

We think it's unfair that everyday workers get taxed more than billionaires living off investments. This two-tier system fuels inequality & threatens our democracy. The #EqualTaxAct ends the rigged rules so the wealthy pay their fair share. equaltaxact.com

Right now, teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. That’s why we worked with @ramirez.house.gov to introduce the #EqualTaxAct to tax wealth like work and close the loopholes the ultra-rich exploit.

🚨BREAKING: With our members by her side, @ramirez.house.gov has *officially* introduced the #EqualTaxAct. Here's what it does: ✅Taxes millionaire investments like wages ✅Closes billionaire loopholes ✅Boosts the economy & cuts inequality ✅Raises revenue only from the rich

We've been saying this for 15 years. Working people need higher wages and a cost of living tax exemption, paid for by millionaires like us. We can handle the burden.

We met with Rep. Nellie Pou of New Jersey to highlight a clear issue in this country: working families are paying higher tax rates than the ultra-wealthy. Our solution, tax millionaires like us so working people can get a break. Let's pass the #EqualTaxAct.

Today, we met with the office of Rep. Emilia Sykes of Ohio about the #EqualTaxAct. Right now, working families often pay higher tax rates than the ultra-wealthy. Our bill fixes that by: ✅ Taxing investment income like wages ✅ Closing tax loopholes ✅ Building an economy that works for all

Today we met with @sewell.house.gov’s staff to discuss the #EqualTaxAct. Our bill makes sure working people in Alabama don't pay a higher taxes than the ultra-wealthy by closing loopholes and taxing income the same as wages. A fair tax code means a stronger democracy.

Working families in Pennsylvania pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires. That’s why we spoke with @deluzio.house.gov today about passing the #EqualTaxAct to close loopholes and fix the broken tax code in this country.

Our members are on Capitol Hill today to tell members of Congress, TAX ME MORE. Millionaires shouldn’t pay lower tax rates than hardworking Americans. It’s time to close billionaire loopholes and build a fair tax code by passing the #EqualTaxAct.

If the Trump administration valued ending corruption and improving government efficiency, it wouldn't be making it easier for wealthy people to shelter their assets and money. Instead, they're gutting the agencies that could hold tax cheats accountable. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

Key takeaways from this article? 💲The richest Americans are worth $6.6 Trillion 💲Elon Musk retained his number one spot 💲Donald Trump is now $3 billion richer Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour & hasn't been raised since 2009. www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

Taxing the wealthiest people in any society their fair share is always the correct choice, because it is in everyone's interest to have a more equal society. And right now, the only way we can build a more equal political economy is through higher wages and tax cuts for working people.

Just want to add in the five days since we posted it, Donald Trump wants to try and convince us that his bill is somehow a “working families tax cut.” What a load of nonsense. His bill was a handout to the ultra-wealthy, and we refuse to concede to his revisionist history.

Creating chaos is a stupid way to run an economy. But corporations are using crises and tariffs to hike prices and pad profits. While CEOs and shareholders get richer, working families struggle to make ends meet and pay the price for their greed. www.levernews.com/greedflation...

The Honey Festival is buzzing 🐝 and so are we to spread the word about our First 45 Tax Free Plan which is a working class tax cut paid for by millionaires. Every politician says they support working people. We’re here to say: prove it.

We're excited to be at the Honey Festival in Downtown Whiteville in Columbus County, NC, as part of our Flood the Red Zone: Save America campaign. We’re bringing our message directly to working families: no one working full-time should be taxed into poverty. Learn more➡️ first45taxfree.com

These headlines are a month apart. #TaxTheRich

We've said this before, but we feel it's worth repeating: When people are more economically stable, they aren’t forced to live in survival mode. Exploitation creates a vicious cycle where people may feel the need to reject their neighbors and find other people to be the “other.”

We love when top corporate executives say the quiet part out loud: “If you are a restaurant that allows tips or has tips as part of your equation, you are essentially getting the customer to pay for your labor.” www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-ma...

When we talk about Congress taking action and proposing legislation that will put workers at the heart of the matter, bills like CEO Accountability and Responsibility Act is what we're talking about 👇 @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social desaulnier.house.gov/media-center...

Let's get rid of the idea that there are "benevolent billionaires." They can only amass that level of wealth because they have hurt and exploited people along the way.

Changing the name of Trump's and Republican's budget bill won’t change the truth: It lines the pockets of the ultra-rich while working Americans get left behind. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Unions are one of the best avenues that we have on offer to protect our democracy and improve the working conditions for all workers. And we're so glad that Bob Lord, our Senior Vice President of Tax Policy, took the time to explain how and why this is: www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

Combatting extreme wealth inequality is our full-time job, and it's one we're proud to do! @patmillsuk.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/skAoc...

Our American peers have just introduced a plan to ensure no one pays taxes until their basic cost of living is covered, and make the mega-rich pay for it! If the Carney government wants to fund tax cuts for the lowest income earners, they should tax the rich, not cut vital services.

WATCH: We just kicked off the #First45TaxFree campaign: a tax cut for working people, funded by millionaires. Because full-time work should cover the basics—without taxing people into poverty.

This Labor Day, we honor the workers who built America. They fought for the higher wages, stronger benefits, and dignity they deserve. Workers deserve an economy that puts them at the center of policies that benefit them. 1/

BREAKING: We just launched the #First45TaxFree campaign, a working class tax cut paid for by millionaires. No one working full-time should be taxed into poverty. That’s why we want to make the first $45K income tax-free. Yup, you read that right. First 45 tax free.

At a Republican town hall in Ohio, the crowd broke out in chants of “Tax the Rich.” Ordinary Americans know the truth: working families are struggling while the wealthy hoard record fortunes and our elected officials reward them for it.

America’s wealthiest dodge taxes by living off investments that are not subject to income tax, while essential workers pay more of their income than billionaires like Musk and Bezos. The solution is: TAX THE RICH & fund the future hardworking Americans deserve. www.cbsnews.com/news/income-...
