AI Overview

Reich's Stance on the "Proud to Pay More" Movement [1]
• Support for Taxing the Rich: Reich argues that billionaires and multimillionaires should pay higher taxes to address extreme inequality, as championed by the Proud to Pay More campaign, which includes signatories such as Disney heir Abigail Disney and actor Brian Cox.
• Highlighting Tax Avoidance: Reich frequently uses his platform to explain how the ultra-rich, such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, often pay little to no federal income tax by using strategies like "buy, borrow, die," where they leverage stock value instead of selling it.
• "True Patriots": In earlier commentary, Reich referred to wealthy individuals who advocate for higher taxes as "true patriots," arguing that they recognize the need to contribute to the society that created their wealth. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Context of the "Proud to Pay More" Campaign
• The Proud to Pay More campaign, run by organizations including the Patriotic Millionaires, urges global leaders to implement higher taxes on the super-rich to fund public services, infrastructure, and a green transition.
• The campaign's 2024 letter was signed by hundreds of wealthy individuals across 17 countries, including Abigail Disney and Valerie Rockefeller.
• The campaign argues that taxing extreme wealth is necessary for social and economic stability. [1, 2, 3, 5]
Reich has also used his social media, such as a TikTok video on April 15, 2026, to counter arguments against taxing the rich, often pointing out that many billionaires pay a lower effective tax rate than average Americans.[1, 2]
