We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Mitt Romney! When even a former Republican presidential nominee is saying “tax the rich,” it’s clear. Billionaires shouldn’t be able to dodge taxes through giant loopholes while working people foot the bill. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...

It shouldn’t be a surprise when millionaires like us say we want to pay more in taxes. We want a healthy, safe, and thriving country just like everyone else.

Who is going to tell this guy that Roy Disney’s granddaughter @abigaildisney.bsky.social is a Patriotic Millionaire who frequently and publicly speaks out against the societal harm of extreme wealth? www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/09/o...

“People were human beings to him. To you, they’re cattle.” George Bailey’s words to Mr. Potter still ring painfully true with today's oligarchs. This week’s Closer Look reflects on It’s a Wonderful Life and the billionaire economy we live in today. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Back in 2012, PM Founder & Pres Erica Payne released the infamous “Granny off a Cliff” video. Donald Trump said that ad is the reason they lost. Flash forward to 2025, and it seems that Mitt has come around to our way of thinking. In a new op-ed, he calls for taxing the rich:

Thank YOU @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social! This was such a captivating discussion. We're so grateful you were willing to share your time and knowledge with us!

Every holiday season, millions of Americans watch It’s a Wonderful Life. What they may not realize is how closely its villain, Mr. Potter, resembles today’s billionaire oligarchs.

The latest job's report is out, and it's clear that we're in the midst of an affordability crisis. As prices continue to skyrocket, American workers are forced to do more with less as inflation gives them less purchasing power. Our wage policies are failing working people.

Elon Musk is the makes him the first person to break the $600 billion barrier. While working families pay taxes on every paycheck, billionaires watch their wealth grow by hundreds of millions of dollars & never pay a cent of taxes because of our rigged tax code: finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

"Today, one poll after another shows that Americans want the rich to be taxed at higher, even much higher rates...The billionaires have only themselves to blame." Taxing rich people like us is good for the economy, democracy, and our society as a whole. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Since the Citizens United decision in 2010, the ultra-rich are spending record amounts in our elections. And as donors spend more & more in elections, fewer & fewer candidates without big money behind them have what it takes to compete on equal footing. www.levernews.com/vance-v-demo...

There are a lot of economically and morally unjustifiable tax loopholes that disproportionately benefit wealthy people like us. The carried interest loophole is the worst of them all. @baldwin.senate.gov's The Carried Interest Fairness Act would change that: www.baldwin.senate.gov/news/press-r...

The growing influence of private equity is one of the biggest threats facing our country, yet most people don’t know it, let alone how ubiquitous private equity is in their day-to-day lives.

The ultra-rich swore New York would empty out if voters chose a mayor who isn’t afraid to say TAX THE RICH. Fair taxation doesn’t shrink cities. It strengthens them. www.newsweek.com/mamdani-effe...

Exactly. No such thing as an "ethical billionaire". Just ask the @patrioticmillionaires.org people.

This holiday season, working families are buying fewer gifts, skipping travel, and dipping into savings—all because Trump's economic agenda is designed to protect the rich and leave working families paying the bill. groundworkcollaborative.org/work/tis-the...

A rigged economy for the ultra-rich, plus decades of tax and wage policy failures, led us to this moment. Nearly half of full-time workers in America fail to earn a living wage. No wonder workers are stressed when they cannot afford basic essentials.

Private equity didn’t just kill Toys “R” Us—it’s draining hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centers, and even local newsrooms. This week’s Closer Look exposes how an industry that claims to “save” companies is actually hollowing out America. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

We're barreling into a "K-shaped economy." The upper part of the K refers to higher-income Americans seeing their incomes & wealth rise. The bottom part points to lower-income households struggling with weaker income gains and steep prices: ctmirror.org/2025/12/01/w...

Houston airport workers just won a $20/hr wage floor, one of the HIGHEST in the city. Why? Because they organized and demanded what their labor is worth. When workers have power, wages rise, families thrive, and the whole economy wins. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/art...

The world is now home to 2,919 billionaires, and they are richer than ever before. And of those billionaires, the wealth of just six US tech billionaires grew by $171 billion. We would love to know how much the wealth of their employees grew by, too! www.businessinsider.com/how-many-bil...

The truth is billionaire power touches us all—where we live, what we pay for housing, what we eat, and what news we consume. We cannot ignore how the outsized power from a handful of people have touched, shaped, and formed our collective experiences. www.corporatecrimereporter.com/news/200/chu...

Every week, we deliver in-depth analysis about what we are investigating with an explainer about the latest economic, political, and financial issues and how it all connects back to taxing the rich, paying the people, & spreading the power. Sign up here: patrioticmillionaires.org/closer-look/

Trump can’t make up his mind as to whether America has an affordability problem. So we'll do it for him: We absolutely do. Especially when Michael Green crunched the numbers and found it takes $136,500 to live in America today: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Chris Rock once said, "If poor people knew how rich rich people are, there would be riots in the streets.” So what would average taxpayers do if they knew they’re currently paying income tax at triple the rate our richest megabillionaires are paying? patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Many @patrioticmillionaires.org believe it’s necessary to #TaxTheRich

Our tax code gives preferential tax treatment to investment income. Right now, wealthy investors are paying a lower tax rate on their income than working people pay on theirs by taxing investment income at the lower rate than earned income. Let that sink in.

North Carolina moving forward with tax cuts for the ultra-rich and corporations at a time when it is the worst state in the country for working people is incredibly disheartening.

We view paying taxes as part of our civic duty. We understand that in order to have great schools, public services, roads, and more, we must be willing to pay our fair share. We won't ever threaten to leave our homes because of our tax bill: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/n...

The Jeff Bezos fortune now stands at $245 billion. If you arrived here with Columbus in 1492 and somehow lived to age 533 while boosting your wealth by $1 million every day, you’d still be $50 billion poorer than Bezos. @inequality.org @patrioticmillionaires.org

“We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we can’t have both.” Don't mind us, we're just thinking of these words from late Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis for no particular reason...👀

These are not the kind of headlines you see in a healthy economy:

The poverty line is calculated as three times the cost of what a minimum food diet was in 1963. If you think that's ridiculous, wait until you learn how much it REALLY costs to live in America. Spoiler, it's a lot more than the $32,150 poverty line: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Take the time to give this one a read. Authored by one of our wonderful tax staffers, Bob Lord, it offers a resounding rebuke to an editorial board trying to protect the paper's owner ⬇️

The Washington Post editorial board railed against a wealth tax without noting its owner, Jeff Bezos, stands to benefit more from its tax policy prescriptions than nearly anyone else on the planet. Read the full article about how the Post serves Bezos's interests: zeteo.com/p/washington...

It’s obviously bad that the Musk Foundation failed to give the minimum amount required by law last year. It's even worse that Musk appears to do that while paying next to nothing—or sometimes literally nothing—in taxes. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Spotify Wrapped just dropped 🔥🫡

It doesn't matter if economists and politicians say the economy is "doing great" if the majority of people do not feel or see the results of an economy especially when: ❌ Wages are stagnant & can't keep up with the cost of living ❌ Wealth is hoarded at the top & never trickles down to working people

The American public deserves better than a president who only cares about using his position to make a buck. They deserve a president that serves their interests and who is of, by, and for the people—not of, by, and for the billionaires, including himself. www.axios.com/2025/12/03/t...

Starbucks is facing its longest unfair labor practice strike in its history, as thousands of workers are on picket lines demanding better pay and labor conditions. Last year, CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million. The median Starbucks worker made $14,674: www.seattletimes.com/business/sta...

Here's our take: if all our country's economic success is floating to the top, we should be ashamed. When the concentration of wealth is in the hands of a select few, it is not a measure of success for our country. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople #SpreadThePower

An investor did the math recently & found that a family of four in the US needs $136,500 annually to afford basic essentials. That's more than 4x the official US poverty line, which is $32,150. The math ain’t mathing & lawmakers need to do something about it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Ford CEO Jim Farley understands that when you raise employee wages, it pays off big time. It attracts workers, improves worker happiness, and reduces turnover. It's a smart business decision to pay employees a living wage! Read the full story here: finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-wo...

As the year comes to a close, we hope lawmakers in 2026 will take us at our word when we say we’d start being grateful if they taxed us MORE, not less, and undo the damage from the Republican budget bill: www.americanprogress.org/article/7-wa...

In one of its first installments of its new “Billionaire Nation” series, PM Chair, Morris Pearl told the @washingtonpost.com about the ways billionaires have taken over American politics. Read what he had to say here: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

In the United States, we have the largest billionaire class in the world. At the same time, 40% of our population—including no less than 49% of our children—are poor or low-income. You don’t end up with an economy accidentally.
