Other members of prominent, wealthy families have also advocated for higher taxes on the rich and a living wage for all.
Abigail Disney made waves this week by publicly chastising Disney CEO Bob Iger for not doing more to narrow the wage gap between his $66 million paycheck and that of the average Disney worker.
She is also a member of Patriotic Millionaires. In 2017, Merck gave a speech asking US leaders to raise her taxes. "In an economy like ours that is 70% consumer demand driven, putting more money into the hands of those in the lower and middle classes, who will spend it on basic, daily needs rather than stuff it away in an offshore bank account, is not only the smart thing to do but it's the right thing to do," she said.
