I had a great time on the CBC IDEAS podcast discussing the unprecedented wealth & power of billionaires. The world’s 12 richest billionaires currently hold more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of people on Earth. Have a listen: app.magellan.ai/listen_links...

Want to know what patriotism actually looks like? Just ask @abigaildisney.bsky.social, who supports raising taxes on super rich people like herself.

Our members are clear: They want a rich, stable, and free country. That begins with an economy that ensures it.

Billionaires Are a National Disaster Chuck Collins on how income inequality undermines everyone’s quality of life—even the most wealthy.

"This is a moment for faith communities to talk about how the 'billionaire burn' is fundamentally disrupting our common good."

Our member @abigaildisney.bsky.social has a message for leaders at World Economic Forum in Davos: Extreme wealth threatens global stability and our shared future.

That’s why Abby and nearly 400 millionaires from around the world signed our open letter calling on leaders to tax the super rich.

G20 Leaders Need to Start Taxing Wealthy People Like Me 'If we wish to address humanity’s most pressing issues, we must  close unfair tax loopholes," writes Abigail Disney.

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.

G20 Leaders Need to Start Taxing Wealthy People Like Me 'If we wish to address humanity’s most pressing issues, we must  close unfair tax loopholes," writes Abigail Disney.

If G20 leaders want to lead countries that are thriving, with strong consumer bases in a sustainable world, they have to start effectively taxing the rich.

G20 leaders meeting this week in South Africa: The world deserves hope. And our hope is a more equal and sustainable future. You can help deliver this.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.

And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.

People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

The Disney Heiress, the Soybean Farmer, and Trump’s Dangerous Decisions Two views of how the president’s senseless economic and moral acts put the country at risk.

Last week, @abigaildisney.bsky.social had a simple question: What’s best for America?

And for her and our members, it's the ultra-rich like them paying their fair share of taxes.

Teachers, nurses, and truck drivers pay higher tax rates than billionaires. That’s not just unfair, it’s a rigged system that punishes work and rewards wealth.

The #EqualTaxAct is a step toward fixing this injustice by making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as working people.

We think it's unfair that everyday workers get taxed more than billionaires living off investments. This two-tier system fuels inequality & threatens our democracy.

The #EqualTaxAct ends the rigged rules so the wealthy pay their fair share. equaltaxact.com

Right now, teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. That’s why we worked with @ramirez.house.gov to introduce the #EqualTaxAct to tax wealth like work and close the loopholes the ultra-rich exploit.

🚨BREAKING: With our members by her side, @ramirez.house.gov has *officially* introduced the #EqualTaxAct.

Here's what it does:

✅Taxes millionaire investments like wages
✅Closes billionaire loopholes
✅Boosts the economy & cuts inequality
✅Raises revenue only from the rich

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.

The Rich Should Be Paying More—and Yes, That Means Me The last 50 years have been a sickening catastrophe for the working class and have created another class of people who really do think they’re better than everyone else. There is an obvious cure for their unearned sense of entitlement.

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement.

And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem.
