Abigail Disney Leads Wealthy Americans' Push for Fairer Taxes
Abigail Disney, the great-niece of Walt Disney, has been advocating for higher taxes since 2011. She is a member of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of around 200 wealthy Americans pushing for a fairer tax system. Their cause gained recent attention with a report on 'Envoye Special' on October 2, 2025.
The Patriotic Millionaires believe they pay less in taxes than the middle class. In the US, wages are taxed up to 37%, while investment income, which many wealthy individuals rely on, is taxed at only 21%. Abigail Disney, feeling guilty about her wealth, has stated she'd be happy to pay 50% in taxes. The group includes heirs, entrepreneurs, and those who made their fortune in finance, such as Chuck Collins and Stephen Silberstein. They argue that the current tax system is unfair and unsustainable. Replays of the news magazine report featuring the Patriotic Millionaires can be viewed on the website of the news portal.
The Patriotic Millionaires, with Abigail Disney at the forefront, are calling for tax reform. They believe their wealth should be taxed at a higher rate to reduce growing inequalities. Their message has been shared widely, including in a recent broadcast on 'Envoye Special'.
