Our member @abigaildisney has a message for leaders at @wef in Davos: Extreme wealth threatens global stability and our shared future.
That’s why Abby and nearly 400 millionaires from around the world signed our open letter calling on leaders to tax the super rich.

Ahead of the G20 summit in South Africa this weekend, our very own @abigaildisney penned an op-ed for @TIME making the case for why G20 leaders need to tax ultra-wealthy people like her to create more equal nations and a healthier planet.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Abigail Disney has been one of the world's leading advocates for a #wealthtax for years.
Her argument is simple: The system is rigged for the rich. A tax on extreme wealth is the only fair way to fix it.
It's not a radical idea. It's a just one. #TaxTheRich

NEW: CEO pay has grown from 42x the average worker’s pay in 1980 to an outrageous 538x today, IPS @inequalityorg researchers found. Wealth isn't trickling down.
There's a clear solution, says heiress @abigaildisney in @newrepublic: Tax people like her. newrepublic.com/article/1961…

While working families are living paycheck to paycheck, billionaires are renting out whole cities to throw lavish weddings.
There's extreme wealth, and then there's THIS.
And the worst part is that our tax code rewards it. apnews.com/article/bezos-wed…

A tax code is a communal expression of social priorities—not a set of rules to be gamed.
A tax code is a statement of moral principles.
Taxes got us into this mess, and taxes are the only way out: newrepublic.com/article/1961…

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement.
And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem.
