Will Smith may be filthy rich but he ain’t too bright.

Here he is in France getting an eye opening lesson about confiscatory tax rates he pretends to advocate for.

Will Smith Stunned At France’s 75% Tax Rate

Will Smith: I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow. I believe very firmly that my ability to sit here—I’m a black man who didn’t go to college, yet I get to travel around the world and sell my movies, and I believe very firmly that America is the only place on Earth that I could exist. So I will pay anything that I need to pay to keep my country growing. . . .

Interviewer: [Under the new French President Hollande’s proposal] Do you know how much tax you have to pay for incomes of one million Euros and above?

Will Smith: Not 30%.

Interviewer: 75%.

Will Smith: 75?! Yeah, that’s different, that’s different. Yeah, 75. Well, you know, God bless America.

"I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow." That line is so laughable. He owed almost 3 million in unpaid taxes in 1990 (though he was a dumb kid back then). Quincy Jones saved his ass by casting him in The Fresh Prince to pay off his debts.
