Patriotic Millionaires Lobby Congress to Raise Taxes on the Wealthy to Combat Inequality and Climate Change

I dream of seeing the title of this post on bumper stickers, billboards, and personal tattoos.

The slogan 'Tax the rich and save the world' comes from a message from the Patriotic Millionaires—a group of more than 200 high-net-worth Americans, from investors and executives to filmmakers and heirs, who are actively lobbying Congress to raise their own taxes.

Millionaires are watching billionaires pull further ahead financially, and watching their coastal properties sink closer to the waterline as unchecked carbon emissions push sea levels higher.

What's needed is the political might to see it done.
