Millionaires Explain How They Hide Money. Explaining the Patriotric Millionaires platform. They want to be taxed more.🥴🤣✊ @waltermasterson.bsky.social @patrioticmillionaires.org

All workers, regardless of their skill set, is worthy of a wage that meets their needs. A worker struggling to get by on a low wage is no less of a human being than the CEO who employs them. People are people; let's pay and treat them with dignity: patrioticmillionaires.org/wp-content/u...

Jeff Bezos and his editorial board have been on a continuous rant against wealth taxes—glorifying election spending and pushing an agenda that protects wealth, not democracy. It appears that democracy is dying in darkness—just of their own creation. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Does the Washington Post want democracy to die in darkness?

Its publishers appear to be rooting for the oligarchs.

This TED Talk by Sally Kohn hits the nail on the head about why it's important for every US citizen to understand the threat wealth inequality has on our democracy. Sally breaks it all down in less-than 20 minutes and what we think is definitely worth a listen: www.ted.com/talks/sally_...

Why economic inequality is the biggest threat to democracy

Is authoritarianism winning, or is democracy just failing to deliver? Communications strategist Sally Kohn lays out how democracy has evolved before and why it must evolve again, into what she calls "...

Hoard/hoarded/hoarding Definition: To accumulate money, food, or the like, in a hidden or carefully guarded place for preservation, future use, etc. The ultra-rich try to tell you their increasing wealth is good for everyone. It's not. This kind of hoarding is harmful to our economy & democracy.

As companies grow their wealth, they need to also grow the wealth of the people they employ. Our democracy and economy cannot wait any longer for companies to wake up and “do the right thing” on their own. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.

The ultra-rich avoid taxes by borrowing millions against their stock instead of selling it. Loopholes like this allow for hoarding wealth and power while working people pay taxes on every paycheck. It's time to level the playing field. www.barrons.com/articles/ult...

How the Ultra-Rich Borrow Millions Against Stock—and Save on Taxes

Loans backed by public securities are popular among the rich, but those with illiquid, hard-to-value assets often turn to specialty lenders.

The bottom line is when the top 1% holds more wealth than the entire American middle class or the bottom 90% of earners combined, it’s time to #TaxTheSuperRich.

Here’s our game plan: 1️⃣ Stop taxing people into poverty with the Working American’s Tax Cut Act. 2️⃣ Treat all money the same with the Equal Tax Act. 3️⃣ Tax companies that don’t provide a living wage & comprehensive benefits. 4️⃣ Protect democracy with campaign finance reform.

This is an important piece that captures the essence of how our tax code created today's ultra-billionaires. We can check their power by fixing the untaxed wealth problem: otherwords.org/elon-musks-f...

The 7️⃣’s of minimum wage: 7️⃣ states have not raised their minimum wage above the federal floor. Over 7️⃣ million workers are making under $13 an hour. There is not a single state where an hourly wage of $7️⃣.25 is enough to survive on in 2026.

17 years without a raise. The federal minimum wage hasn't budged since 2009—and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says it shouldn't. Patriotic Millionaires member and former CareCentrix CEO John Driscoll explains why that's a problem. 👇

Patriotic Millionaires like Andrew Tobias are willing to pay more in taxes because they believe our country is a place worth supporting. That financial support begins with a strong tax code: www.businessinsider.com/new-york-cit...

This New York City millionaire will happily pay more taxes. Just make sure to send him a fruit basket.

Growing up is just realizing that a federal wage floor of $7.25 is nowhere near enough for anyone, anywhere. Our government has normalized employers paying poverty wages. That needs to change.

Americans aren't fooled by the “hype” around Trump's tax cuts. New polling data reveals that many are left asking the question: Who actually benefited from this? As costs continue to rise, we need a new approach. That begins with taxing the super rich: www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Poll: Even Trump voters aren’t very impressed by the GOP’s tax overhaul

A July POLITICO Poll shows that many people can’t explain the One Big Beautiful Bill Act or think it has helped the wealthy — a frustrating situation for the GOP ahead of the midterms.

🔥Hot take 🔥 Taxes are and should be a good thing. They can build a system where everyone can grow, everyone’s in this together, and fund the things we can’t do on our own. To us, that’s patriotic.

There is a lot of buzz around California's upcoming vote to tax billionaires, and for good reason. Economist Gabriel Zucman breaks down how it could change the global conversation around wealth inequality: capitalandmain.com/californias-...

California’s Billionaire Tax Should Be Just the Starting Point

Economist Gabriel Zucman argues that a permanent 2% tax on the ultra rich could generate billions while addressing the state’s growing concentration of wealth.

Our college-aged social media intern was just 3 years old the last time Congress raised the federal minimum wage. Let that sink in.
