Try not to laugh as 'patriotic' rich who want the wealthy taxed at 90% are asked to sign a pledge

The group “Patriotic Millionaires” has been around for quite a while, and according to their website the core mission is basically to create a utopia funded by making the rich pay a lot more in taxes:

a group of hundreds of high-net-worth Americans who are committed to making all Americans, including themselves, better off by building a more prosperous, stable, and inclusive nation. The group focuses on promoting public policy solutions that encourage political equality, guarantee a sustaining wage for working Americans, and ensure that millionaires, billionaires, and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

As you know, any wealthy person with feelings of guilt could write a check to the U.S. Treasury any time they want — the government will gladly accept it. But of course it’s not that simple and most of the “we should be giving the government more money” talk is heavy on virtue signaling and light on the government getting more of their money.

Mollie Hemingway was among many who spotted more evidence of that:

Yes, it is hilarious:

WATCH: Yesterday we crashed the @PatrioticMils press conference, where left-wing millionaires asked Congress to pass a 90% tax on "super rich" people.

So I asked them to step up and sign a pledge to voluntarily pay 90%.
