A political friend of mine will be on THE DAILY SHOW tonight... [View all]
I am writing to let you know that ***TONIGHT*** THE PATRIOTIC MILLIONAIRES will be featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the best political TV show in all the land. TUNE IN to Comedy Central TONIGHT at 11:00 pm EST to see the wonderful Morris Pearl, Chairman of the Board of the Patriotic Millionaires, represent the group in a clever, tongue-in-cheek segment on wealth inequality.
Morris recently left a 30-year career on Wall Street to join the Patriotic Millionaires effort full time and to serve as Chair of the Board for the Agenda Project. Prior to this, Morris was a Managing Director at Blackrock, one of the largest investment management firms in the world. At Blackrock, Morris was a member of the Financial Markets Advisory Group where he assessed the risk and losses from the bailouts of Citibank and AIG, advised Her Majesty's Treasury on the bailouts of Lloyds and RBS, as well as similar projects for the Central Bank of Ireland and the Bank of Greece.
The Patriotic Millionaires are deeply concerned about the dangerous levels of economic and political inequality in this country. Over the next two years, they will be executing a major campaign to draw attention to these twin problems, with a particular emphasis on how political inequality and "legislative capture" have distorted the tax code and artificially depressed the wages of millions of Americans.
In a major expansion, the Patriotic Millionaires are merging with Wealth for the Common Good, a powerful network of more than 5,000 business leaders, high-income individuals, and partners committed to shared prosperity and fair taxation. WCG was co-founded by Chuck Collins, who will be joining the board of the new combined organization.
If you are interested in being a part of the Patriotic Millionaires, please sign up HERE or call 202-446-0489. We have a busy year ahead and would love your help with this important work!
Thanks so much,
Erica Payne
Chief Strategist
The Patriotic Millionaires
