Want to know what patriotism actually looks like? Just ask @abigaildisney.bsky.social, who supports raising taxes on super rich people like herself.
Our members are clear: They want a rich, stable, and free country. That begins with an economy that ensures it.
From New York to California to Washington, states are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich.
Why? Because extreme wealth concentration is making life unaffordable for everyone else.
This week’s Closer Look shows how momentum is growing across the U.S. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...
The 20 largest low-wage employers in the U.S. pay millions of workers poverty wages while their CEOs take home an average of $18.6 million a year.
If corporations can afford billions in stock buybacks, they can afford to pay their workers a living wage. ips-dc.org/report-ameri...
Some good news… We’ve been advocating for a working class tax cut like this-getting money into working families people’s pockets. I’m glad that it’s moving with leadership from Sen Van Hollen. Working people need a break- and this is a fantastic way to do it.

When big money floods Washington, working Americans get drowned out. www.opensecrets.org/news/2026/01...
Lobbying firms took in a record $5 BILLION in 2025. Those are dollars spent by corporations and special interests looking to shape state and federal laws that have an outsized benefit for the wealthy.
Business leaders’ refuse to pay wages that workers can live on & Congress fails to raise the federal minimum wage trap millions of workers in cycles of poverty.
But we know paying people good wages they can live & thrive on is good for business, the economy, & our country.
According to the settlement, the company misled drivers about "base pay, incentives, and tips, frequently paying them less than offered at the start of orders and failing to provide drivers with full tips from customers or withholding them entirely. "
It's not a coincidence that a company valued at a trillion dollars also allegedly deceived its drivers about their wages. Companies worth this much do not achieve this valuation feat without exploiting their workers. scdailygazette.com/2026/02/27/w...
You may have heard: “The top 1% pay 40% of income taxes” why raise taxes on the wealthy? The real issue isn't the 1%. It's the top 0.1% & 0.01%, where massive fortunes grow & tax rules are incredibly regressive.
The result? A tiny slice of Americans control trillions in wealth.
Team MONEY is back on campus, this time stopping by UNC Chapel Hill.
We’re talking with students about the MONEY Agenda and the fight to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
Every politician in America who says they support working people should embrace this idea that allows working people keep more of the money they make, that stops the federal government from taxing people into poverty, and adds nothing to the budget deficit.

Through tax havens, federal loopholes, and the illusion of corporate oversight, Elon Musk is inching closer to becoming the world’s first trillionaire.
If we want an economy for workers, we can’t keep designing one that allows trillionaires to exist. www.oxfamamerica.org/press/as-mus...
"When large employers dominate labor markets, workers are paid less."
Thanks to the @levernews.com always saying it so succinctly ✔️ When a few large companies amass economic—and political—power, it's workers who lose out in the end. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
“Trump's second-term agenda was designed by his closest allies to move fast and test the limits of executive power.”
They’re testing the limits so that we get used to a broken system. We’re fighting back with our vision of an economy that works for us all, not just the president and his allies.
When two-thirds of Americans say the system of checks and balances is not working well, it’s a clear sign that our democracy is in crisis.
Economic inequality waters the seeds of discontent and makes authoritarianism and authoritarian leaders appealing.
If you ask PM Ashley Craig, none of this was accidental. Decades of short-sighted decisions led us to the economic moment we are in right now.
Now, it's up to us push back and fight for an economy worth saving. Listen to her full interview here: www.unitedshestands.com/p/these-patr...
Welcome to ground zero of America’s new Gilded Age: Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where an average home costs over $7 million.
In the @nytimes.com, Patriotic Millionaire Scott Ellis explains this is what happens when extreme wealth turns into enormous power.
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...
Future generations are depending on us to put an end to oligarchic levels of concentrated wealth.
To our fellow class traitors: It isn't too late to join us & fight for a free, stable, economy.
To our elected officials: Heed our warnings, before we pass the point of no return for our democracy.
“At some point there’s nothing you can spend money on that actually makes your life materially better, so money simply becomes power. The question for us is not how much wealth we want other people to have, but how much power.”
It's not *just* about the money, but the power that comes *with* it.
You may have been hearing the phrase “K-shaped economy” lately but what does that really mean?
In this week’s Closer Look, we break down how we got here, and why things are working great for the super rich, but not for everyone else. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...
Oh no, we didn't see this as disrespectful! We completely agree with what you're saying! And it's so great to know we're not alone in our thinking! 😀
John Driscoll, a proud Patriotic Millionaire and co-author of Pay the People, sat down with Tricia Benn on C Suite Success to talk about how paying and valuing your employees drives long-term success.

In this week's Closer Look, we look a bit closer at Trump's claims about the economy during his State of the Union. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...
Trump says America’s economy is winning but we got receipts.
His megabill overwhelmingly benefits the wealthy and corporations.
The bottom 20% are paying more in taxes. The top 1% are paying less.
Tariffs you say? They’re the largest tax hike since 1982, costing families $1,745 on average.

As a California millionaire, Maureen Kennedy isn’t running from wealth taxes. She’s supporting them.
It’s time to stand up to relocation threats and build a tax system that works for everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy.
