These millionaires Agree with Obama:

A group of 24 mutli millionaires went to capitol Hill urging congress to raise their taxes and to end Bush tax cuts- at last we have some sensible millionaires who believe in paying their fair share: http://money.cnn.com/2011/11/16/news...ires/index.htm

They could pay more without raising taxes. No one is saying they can't. This is just political gamesmanship, nothing more. Don't get too excited, WE, not good for your blood pressure.

I mean, after all, who cares if the tax rate is raised if you can get a sweetheart government backed loan or bail out, maybe with a golden parachute?

As one of the asshats on the video points out; they are, after all, the ones, who "gained the most" from the policies that lead to the deficit.

They can mail their checks to:

US Bureau of the Public Debt
P.O. Box 7015
Parkersburg, WV 26106-7015

and they can stop fighting the IRS on back taxes owed;

If they are the only ones it won't help and they realize that.

How generous they are with other people's money. No wonder they are celebrated as heroes. But if asked to pony up voluntarily, well, we can't have that, because it isn't fair. What a load of bullshit.

Why are these scumbags only willing to pay more if everyone in their situation does it??????????????

Perhaps Turdfly wasn't personally interested enough to check into other ways for patriotic Americans to "Knock yourself out!" (Turdy seems to be the type who is more interested in making condescending, 'smart ass' remarks!)

If that is indeed Turdy's goal, then consider it to be:
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

How about this solution for the national debt -- every Republican multi-millionaire give 25% of their net worth to the government and us Democratic multi-millionaires keep our money. Sounds like a great plan to me.

I can keep donating the same $50k or so per cycle to the Democrats and my Republican colleges have less money in their pocket. So if they keep giving to Republican candidates, but if they do, they feel a much bigger pinch. Sign me up!!!! Don't you think that they'll go for that???!!!!

Billionaires claim they want to pay higher taxes so that people will tell them how nice they are. Its actually meaningless. If they really want to do good with their money they should give it to private charity. The government just pisses it away.

Its easy for Warren Buffett to advocate higher taxes for the rich. He's worth approximately thirty to forty billion dollars. If his taxes are raised, his quality of life won't be effected. He'll be forced to live on a few billion less.

The problem with Obama's proposed tax increases is that it will slow economic growth and ultimately reduce tax revenue. Reagan dramatically reduced the top marginal rate on federal income taxes and tax revenue doubled during his administration.

If we're ever going to balance the budget, we've got to reduce federal spending and stimulate economic growth.
