Ahead of the G20 summit in South Africa this weekend, our very own @abigaildisney.bsky.social penned an op-ed for @time.com making the case for why G20 leaders need to tax ultra-wealthy people like her to create more equal nations and a healthier planet. Check it out: time.com/7335231/g20-...

“I was born into wealth, and wealth just became more wealth. There is a thing as too much wealth, it’s bad for the world and it’s bad for those who own it, it’s alienating and morally corrosive." Abigail Disney at #IMFMeetings. @patrioticmillionaires.org @patmillsuk.bsky.social

NEW: CEO pay has ballooned from 42x the average worker’s pay in 1980 to an outrageous 538x today, IPS @inequality.org researchers found. Wealth isn't trickling down, it's being vacuumed up. There's a clear solution, says heiress @abigaildisney.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com: Tax people like her.
