For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000.
We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more.

Our country faces a choice – we can pay our debts and build for the future, or we can shirk our financial responsibilities and cripple our nation’s potential.

Our country has been good to us. It provided a foundation through which we could succeed. Now, we want to do our part to keep that foundation strong so that others can succeed as we have.
Patriotic Millionaires For Fiscal Strength


Good to see that many of the more fortunate people really do get it and also realize that this country only wins if everyone has a chance to live up to their potential.

I was on Wall Street today and there are people from all walks of life in every age group and every race and anyone that says any different is out and out lying.

Because nothing says patriotism like stealing someone else's money to fund the pet projects of our crooks in DC.

I am so happy to see that!

They can send all their money in then! And leave the rest of us alone.

Oh...but so sad...I am willing to bet that lip service is all they will pay.

BTW, fiscal strength STARTS with efficient and purposeful spending policies. We don't have any of that in the government.

High tech panhandlers of the entitlement generation. Someone is feeding them and making certain they have everything they need. I notice these poor not yet responsible adults have splurged on technology and expensive phones yet they have no jobs. No wonder they complain about being in debt.
