$1,000,000.00 today is worth less than 90% of what it was worth in 1973.

A return to sound monetary policy and fiscal responsiblity are required as well as scrapping the current tax system and starting over.

Confiscate all the wealth of the nation's billionaires and millionairs and you still don't pay off the US debt. That illustrates how misguided is this "patriotic millionaires".

There may actually be people who disagree with them, but, if they are so convinced they are right, they should put their money where their mouth is.

Anyone millionaire who shills on behalf of the government for taxation is either an idiot who inherited the wealth, or is in on the fix.

My guess is none of these people are self made millionaires or they are billionaires with no skin in the game.

None of the above, just perfectly aware of the growing diparity between the ultra rich and the middle class due to fiscal policy.

These same millionaires will find loopholes and tax-shelters.

They should spread it around themselves.

I can think of no bigger criminal waste of money than giving it to the federal gov.
