TAX THE RICH! SAY THE RICH – Meet Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl and Erica Payne

How does it feel to have more money than you could ever
spend? What is it that makes someone who is a millionaire
fight for higher taxes on the rich? How does playing a rigged
game of monopoly reveal how rich people’s minds work? What chance
that President Joe Biden can reverse the relentless lowering of
taxes on the richest people?


Nadia and Max are joined by Erica Payne and Morris Pearl –
founders of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of wealthy
individuals leading the charge to raise taxes on the rich, fight
for a livable wage, and combat political and income inequality.
Morris Pearl, a former managing director of BlackRock, is chair
of the Patriotic Millionaires. Erica Payne is founder and
president of the Patriotic Millionaires, an American public
policy commentator, author and progressive strategist. They have
co-authored a book out now called: “Tax the Rich!: How Lies,
Loopholes, and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer Paperback”.
