I wonder if these people will put their money where their mouth is?
The millionaires know they’ll be eaten first. They can’t afford the dooms day bunkers the billionaires can.
Given that governments around the world are filled with millionaires, or the friends and family of millionaires, I cannot see that happening. Those who want to pay are going to be outnumbered by those who would rather die than pay an extra penny in tax. Tax avoidance schemes are popular for a reason and millionaires will flock to those in even greater numbers if extra taxes are proposed.
Can’t wait for the sour grapes in the comments
These millionaires have this spot on. It’s virtually useless them making charitable donations. It’s needs to be done in a much broader sense to close the inequality gap to anything like the necessary level.
Their approach deserves applaud; not ridicule as per some on here who are just too lazy/ ingrained to bother to think things through. The right-wing and their media love these type of people. They help to keep them in power.
All this “tax the rich” yet no concern with where those taxes are going? Right back to them through government contracts.
Solve one before the other, or both
When millionaires want to pay less in tax they bribe politicians.
When millionaires want to pay more in tax they protest.

So, what is stopping these millionaires from donating their “excess cash”?
Remember, if you think you’re not paying enough tax, [HM treasury and the Debt Management Office accept donations](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/voluntary-payments-donations-to-government), so you can always tax yourself a bit more.
