There’s something so dystopian about the fact businesses can exploit people who are financially struggling and need quick cash to cover expenses between paychecks. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/y...

We're a group of American millionaires fighting to tax the rich, pay the people, and spread the power!
@patrioticmillionaires.org@patrioticmillionaires.orgThe affordability crisis isn’t a hoax made up by one political party.
What is it then? It’s families struggling to put food on the table, gas in the cars, and pay for their every day essentials because prices are failing to keep up with inflation. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...
@patrioticmillionaires.orgYoung men were lied to and failed by this administration that chose to line the pockets of their wealthy donors and their own. This administration was never going to rectify the affordability crisis, and it doesn't have a plan in place to solve it now.
@patrioticmillionaires.orgRead this week's Closer Look where our tax export Bob Lord breaks down why the system is broken, and how @vanhollen.senate.gov & Sen. Mark Kelly's bill, WATCA, could fix it: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...
@patrioticmillionaires.orgSay you've got two couples and they earn the same income. One pays $1,500 in federal income taxes but the other pays $7,640. How can that be possible? Yup, this is a thing that *actually* happens. Welcome to Trump's tax code in action.
@patrioticmillionaires.orgLeaders practicing what they preach? We love to see it.✊ www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
@patrioticmillionaires.orgRight now, there are so few people who hold so much money and power.
And when money becomes power, we need to put restraints in place to protect our economy, democracy, and society.
If there's an amount that's too little, isn't there an amount that's too much? #ExtremeWealthLine
@patrioticmillionaires.orgWorking Americans are losing ground every single month. They deserve tangible economic relief, not promises of it. finance.yahoo.com/economy/arti...
@patrioticmillionaires.orgSeptember's jobs report is in. Here are the two numbers you need to know. Wages ➡️ up a dismal 0.1% (the weakest monthly gain since December 2025) Inflation ➡️ still running at a whopping 3.4%.
@patrioticmillionaires.org$145 million seems like quite a bit of money, doesn't it?
Well, that's just how much AI billionaires who lunched with Trump at the White House this week have spent on political candidates this cycle.
What does this kind of access buy you? Self-policing policies. www.forbes.com/sites/giacom...
@patrioticmillionaires.orgWhite households are 91% of the wealthiest 1%.
Taxing the rich isn't just good fiscal policy. It's one of the most powerful tools we have for advancing racial equity.
Taxing the rich isn't just good policy. It's racial equity. ⬇️

@patrioticmillionaires.orgWe believe in an America where everyone has a fair shot. That means a tax code that asks the wealthy to pay their fair share. A minimum wage people can actually live on. And, an economy that rewards work—not just wealth.
@patrioticmillionaires.org"In a state of 39 million people, can 99 corporations and individuals really exert that much influence on politics and policy?" Let's pray not.
@capitalandmain.bsky.socialReposted by @patrioticmillionaires.orgOPINION: As the California Oligarch Index makes clear, a relatively tiny number of wealthy donors and corporations are exerting profound influence over who gets elected and which laws get passed in the Golden State.
@patrioticmillionaires.orgWhen we talk about extreme wealth and extreme wealth concentration, we need to recognize how tax policy CAN and SHOULD be used for economic justice, rather than a shield for concentrated wealth.
@patrioticmillionaires.org"Inequality is almost an insufficient word for the economic situation in America. The top 1% own one-third of all the wealth in the country—a share equal to the total held by the bottom 90%."

@patrioticmillionaires.org"From whom much is given, much is expected."
That's the ethos Todd Oppenheimer has always lived by. It's always puzzled him as to why other super-rich people don't live by that same code.
But, he found a home with us. Now, he wants to share his story: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

@patrioticmillionaires.orgWhy is the Paramount’s Warner Bros. takeover such a big deal?
Because this is just one more merger that will continue to concentrate media power and wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer billionaires. @abigaildisney.bsky.social
