The Future of Gun Violence Prevention with Greg Jackson (Hour 2)
For today's edition of Maggie and the Millionaires Talk Money, Bob Lord and Scott Ellis join us to talk about billionaires buying off the Supreme Court and how it affects tax policy. Bob Lord is the Senior Vice President for Tax Policy at Patriotic Millionaires, and Scott Ellis is one of the founding board members of the Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute.
At the bottom of the hour, we are thrilled to welcome Greg Jackson, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention! One year ago, President Biden established this office, and Greg Jackson brings us updates on the progress made in the last year. He also shares plans for further action to minimize gun violence.
To wrap up today's show, Maggie walks us through Vice President Harris's plans to boost the middle class. Pennsylvania legislator Summer Lee, the first Black woman elected to congress, introduced the American Stability Act. This exciting piece of legislation seeks to restore the link between a company's success and the wages of employees.

Staggering Disparity (Hour 2)
In the top of the hour, Maggie talks money with Nabil Ahmed and Scott Elliss. Nabil Ahmed is the Director of Economic and Racial Justice at Oxfam, America. He has authored and co-authored Oxfam reports, including “Inequality Kills” and “Inequality Inc.” Nabil, Scott, and Maggie talk about the newest report out of Oxfam on extreme wealth inequality.
For the second half hour, Maggie chops it up with Dom Salvia. They continue the discussion of enormous wealth disparity, moving the discussion to candidates for US Senator representing Wisconsin. Whereas Eric Hovde has demanded that his opponent, Senator Tammy Baldwin must release her partner's clients' financial records, he's been astoundingly shy about his own personal records. He's been shady on his involvement with troubled Mexican banks, as reported this past Thursday.

How Much is TOO Much? Excessive Wealth Disorder and The $30 Million Success Project
As a Harvard, Stanford, McKinsey, and Silicon Valley alumnae, Scott Ellis’ bio reads like a who’s who of America’s elite institutions, but this seemingly prototypical (very) rich white man says that we are thinking about wealth all wrong and that it’s time for America’s wealthiest citizens to admit that sometimes enough is enough. He is even a founding board member of an organization called the Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute.
