The Patriotic Millionaires -- have you heard of this group?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

Proud “traitors to their class,” members of the Patriotic Millionaires are high-net worth Americans, business leaders, and investors who are united in their concern about the destabilizing concentration of wealth and power in America. The mission of The Patriotic Millionaires organization is to build a more stable, prosperous, and inclusive nation by promoting public policies based on the “first principles” of equal political representation, a guaranteed living wage for all working citizens, and a fair tax system:

All citizens should enjoy political power equal to that enjoyed by millionaires;All citizens who work full time should be able to afford their basic needs;Tax receipts from millionaires, billionaires and corporations should make up a greater proportion of federal tax receipts.

The group first came together in 2010 to demand an end to the Bush tax cuts for millionaires, instantly sparking the public’s attention. Overnight, the group became a media sensation, and we’ve built on that momentum ever since. Over the last decade, the group has generated hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of media attention, appearing on outlets from the New York Times to MSNBC to NPR; from the cover of the New Yorker to USA Today. The Patriotic Millionaires’ reach is so vast that our work has been featured in over 75 countries in the last year alone, in major outlets such as BBC, Deutsche Welle, and CBC.

Well, they could teach the insurrectionists a thing or two about real patriotism!

1. Not Surprising, And Perhaps...

..."about time", but my experience has been that there a lot of wealthy big wheels that aren't randian cranks.
Many I've known understand how the consumer economy works.
This is welcome recognition to folks with an open mind.

8. It's great that these folks are not just doing it right on their own,

but are letting it be known that it's possible & important and are hopefully attracting others with big bucks to their group.

2. I can give them a routing number if they want to ease their conscience and donate

[BComplex]

3. I'm on board with that idea!

6. They've been around for years, working to elect liberal Democrats...

...who they fully expect tp raise their taxes.

But feel free to stick with lazy stereotypes.

5. Yes, a friend of min runs it.

7. That's cool. They seem legit.

The wealthiest person I know married a rich guy who died early. She's disappointingly stingy in some ways (always sure the trades people are ripping her off), but weirdly generous other times. At least she's a Democrat and I believe gives a decent amount to Dem candidates & causes.

The second wealthiest people I know personally are my cousin & the asshole former ML baseball pitcher she married (before he was former.) Typical awful RWers in every way.
