Patriotic Millionaires
@patrioticmillionaires
We're a group of American millionaires fighting to tax the rich, pay the people, and spread the power!
These mentions, like in this letter from the @captimes.com, are the kinds of reminders we need on a Monday to keep going in our work for a rich, stable, and free economy 🫶
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we asked people on the streets of Whiteville, North Carolina one simple question: What do you hope America looks like at 300? 🇺🇸 Stick around until the end to meet our favorite grandma. She steals the show. ❤️
The world is watching America this summer. @matthewcooke.bsky.social has one message. Tax the super rich.
Our member @abigaildisney.bsky.social is cheering on Team USA in style this World Cup, and sending a message to the billions watching around the world: TAX THE SUPER RICH. The beautiful game deserves a beautiful economy. One that works for everyone.
Columbus County, NC proposed closing 4 of 5 early voting sites. Team Money and local groups organized and pushed back. After weeks of pressure, the Board voted to keep at least 4 sites open, but the final decision now goes to the NC State Board of Elections.
That’s why John knows paying a living wage is the cornerstone to a strong workforce, and how legislation like the Living Wage for All Act can reshape our entire economy.
One person. One trillion dollars. While millions of Americans can't afford rent, groceries, or healthcare, one man has accumulated more wealth than most countries' entire economies. No one earns a trillion dollars. They extract it from a system built to let them.
The Deciders in Whiteville had game night last night 🎲✨ Turns out when you spend your days fighting for higher wages and stronger communities, you also get very competitive over cards and board games. Minimum wage by day, monopoly money by night. 💵
Worker wages and benefits grew just 0.8% in the first quarter from the fourth. Domestic corporate profits? That jumped 2.7%. The end result: GDI sank to 51%, the lowest since records began in 1947. Profits’ share climbed to 12.1%, the highest since 1950.
What happens when a millionaire knocks on doors asking people to raise her own taxes? People have thoughts 👀 Watch Patriotic Millionaires member Monica Lavery hit the streets supporting the Working Americans Tax Cut Act—and see the reactions for yourself.
We shouldn’t make early voting harder for working people. Team MONEY is organizing around proposed changes that would leave Columbus County with only a single early voting location and limit weekend voting opportunities. When communities speak up together, decision-makers listen.
Thanks to @levernews.com and @itep.org for this find: "Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act's tax benefits are greater for the well-off and foreign investors than for the bottom 40 percent of earners." That's outrageous. We need good economic policy that puts working people first.
“My family never asked for these tax cuts, and we don’t want them.” What Patriotic Millionaire Monica Lavery does want is North Carolina public schools that are actually funded. 🍎 Because strong schools matter more than extra breaks for millionaires.
Erica Payne asked North Carolina House Majority Leader Brenden Jones if he would meet with his constituents about raising the minimum wage. His response? Slam the door and walk away.🚪 How’s that for putting working people first?
Yesterday, Team Money was out in Fayetteville, North Carolina, meeting with Tar Heels, encouraging folks to register to vote, and spreading the word about The MONEY Agenda. Because an economy that works for everyone starts with a democracy where everyone takes part.
Super rich people want to be oppressed soooo badly, it's so weird!!!!
Hi, yeah, so this is actually an insane take!!!!!
We joined over 30 global organizations in an open letter calling on the Met and Vogue to not honor Jeff Bezos as honorary chair and sponsor of the Met Gala. Because oligarchs shouldn’t get to use our most powerful cultural institutions to “artwash” their public image.
Congresswoman Delia Ramirez: taxing the rich can’t just be a slogan. It’s time to pass legislation to create a truly equal tax system.
For the record: We don’t *like* paying taxes. But as our Chair, Morris Pearl, told Marcia Kramer at CBS, we rely on what they finance: schools, libraries, public safety, etc. We want that stuff for us and everyone else, so we’re willing to pay more to get it.
Team MONEY was on the ground at UNC Wilmington yesterday, connecting with students and community groups about our mission. Graduating seniors made it clear: a living wage is top of mind as they plan their futures. We’re building local power to make that a reality.
“There is no moral reason… why I should pay a lower tax rate on the money I make than the teachers who work at my granddaughter’s school.” As a former Wall Street investor, our chair Morris Pearl knows there’s no justification for paying lower tax rates than working people.
Patriotic Millionaire Ritchie Tabachnick was proud to stand with @ramirez.house.gov and @repanalilia.bsky.social today as they introduced the Living Wage for All Act. As Ritchie said in his remarks, if all workers earn a living wage, everyone wins - including millionaires like us.
We keep hearing that rich people will leave places like NYC if their taxes go up. But our Chair, Morris Pearl, set the record straight in an @ms.now Town Hall last week with @mayor.nyc.gov: Millionaires can afford to live wherever we want. So go ahead. Tax us!
We’re already at historic levels of inequality, and when money becomes power, democracy is on the line. That’s why Patriotic Millionaire Scott Ellis is calling on our leaders to step up and tax the rich.
This Tax Day, Patriotic Millionaire Scott Ellis leads our members in calling for a fair tax system where people who work for a living aren’t taxed into poverty, and those with the most finally pay their share.
The Patriotic Millionaires are proud to stand with @markey.senate.gov and @ramirez.house.gov in introducing the Equal Tax Act—taxing wealth like work and closing loopholes for the rich. Because income over $1 million should be taxed the same—whether it comes from work or wealth.
We’re taking our message across Washington, DC. Our mobile billboard will be circling Capitol Hill, the National Mall, and beyond—calling out billionaire tax avoidance and demanding higher taxes on the richest Americans. Because working people pay what they owe. It’s time the ultra-rich do too.
After decades in business and philanthropy, Scott Ellis has witnessed how unchecked wealth distorts our democracy and economy. Now, he’s advocating for a living wage and higher taxes on the wealthy to help restore balance and protect the system that made success possible.
Igor Volsky is taking on a system where extreme wealth means extreme power. “Tax greed” is about restoring balance—because when billionaires rig the rules, everyone else pays the price.
