Well, ok...it costs a lot to become a member:

Responsible Wealth, a project of United for a Fair Economy, is a network of over 700 business leaders and wealthy individuals in the top 5% of income and/or wealth in the US (over $200,000 household income and/or over $1 million net assets) who use their surprising voice to advocate for fair taxes and corporate accountability.

BUT...you can tell all your rich friends (or maybe you DO qualify!):

2010 is the year the Bush Tax Cuts were set to expire. ResponsibleWealth is working to make sure that the tax cuts for upper-income households expire. Make sure your voice is heard by taking the Tax Fairness Pledge today!

And why would you take the pledge?

By the end of 2010, the top 5% of households will have received $980 billion in tax breaks from the Bush Tax Cuts. A household with $500,000 of income got a $25,000 tax break in 2009 alone.

Tax cuts for the wealthy made little sense in 2001 and 2003 when they were passed, and it is inexcusable that they are continuing today. It's time to restore the 39.6% and 36% rates on upper-income taxpayers and end the preferential treatment of dividends and capital gains.

So rush...tell all your rich friends to take the Tax Fairness Pledge today!
