Academy award-winning actor Matt Damon said he is "so disgusted" with what's happening in Washington over the debt limit, claiming that the Tea Party is "willing to drive it all off a cliff" and adding that it's "criminal" the wealthy are not paying higher taxes.
"I'm so disgusted man. I mean, no, I don't know what you do in the face of that kind of intransigence. You know, so my heart does go out to the President. He is dealing with a lot," Damon said in an exclusive interview at the "Save Our Schools March" in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.
When asked if he agrees with President Obama's call for a "balanced approach" as part of a deal to raise the debt limit, Damon said, "Yes, the wealthy are paying less than they've paid in any time else, certainly in my lifetime."
He continued, "It's criminal that like, you know, so little is asked of people who are getting so much, I mean, I don't mind paying more. I really don't mind paying more taxes. I'd rather pay for taxes than cut like 'Reading is Fundamental' or 'Head Start' or some of these programs that are really helping kids. I mean, why not? This is the greatest country in the world. Is it that much worse if you pay 6 percent more in taxes? Give me a break. You know, look at what you get for it. You get to be American."
Damon did not say the highest percentage he would be willing to pay in taxes but argued for tax reform.
"I mean, why not raise it per million bucks? Right? And then cap it somewhere," he said.
Damon also said those making over $250,000 per year are not job creators.
"Nobody went and started a business with their Bush tax cut. You know, I don't know who would believe something – that just defies common sense so no, that's – no. I was against those tax cuts. I thought they were ridiculous. So little is asked of the upper class anyway, you know. I mean, what percent of them or their kids are fighting in any of these wars?" he said.
Damon also called the Tea Party "completely intransigent" in terms of the debt ceiling debate.
"It's true. They are absolutely willing to drive it all off a cliff. They mean what they say, that's for sure," he said.
Absolutely stunning isn't it.
Attn: Matty - why don't you cough up a couple of mil and send it to your messiah - the more you send the less I'll have taken out of my paycheck. These people are idiots, do they even listen to themselves?
They might propose something like that. Then one comment from 0, Reid, Chris Matthews, John Stewart, Polosi, etc and we’d have the Boehners, McConnells, and Sarah’s Boy (McCains) scrambling for a microphone. “The extremist Tea Party Christian Fundamentalists....”

Donating to a charity is not going to do a damn thing about the national debt unless the “charity” in question is the US government. You don’t get tax deductions for donating money to the US government. That would defeat the purpose of the donation.
The real scam in America is about special classes of income. It shouldn’t be about wealth and it shouldn’t be about income. Every American from a retiree to a GI to a hedge fund manager to an investor, should pay the same tax rate. If we did it would lower tax rates for most.
How did we establish that a GI putting his life at risk should pay a higher rate than a billionaire NYC hedge fund manager because of his special class of income? Income is income.
I don’t understand why a retiree withdrawing from his IRA pays a much higher tax rate than a hedge fund manager or a investor with capital gains.
If you make money you should pay the same tax rate as do others. There should not be special tax rates for some and not for others.
There should not be a tax free muni bond for the same reason. These municipal authorities are issuing tax free bonds to help their cronies. Income is income whether it be on a W2, 1099, capital gains or anything else. There shouldn’t be special rates for some and higher rates for average Joes.
You first Matt.
I won’t be going to see anymore Matt Damon movies. Ever. Tired of feeding the beast.
Wait, that's confusing... What is being shipped to North Korea, his assets or his ass? I would prefer we keep his assets here and ship his ass to the NORKS. Is that what you meant?
All of the above my FRiend, all of the above...
We keep them here
MATT DAMON
Nothing at all has or will prevent from idiots like Damon from paying 90% in taxes - Hollywierd needs to pick up the tab along with Gates and Buffett and the other two-faced multi-millionaires who hide zillions in their foundations yet demand working stiffs cough up $$$$$ to pay for slobs who refuse to work or liberal interest groups from fleecing the only sector of America that works and produces anything!
You
R E A L L Y
didn’t get it.
Shut-up, Matt! I don’t see you whipping out your checkbook to pay more taxes, you jerk!
Matt Damon condemns the kulaks.
Ooooops.
This from a guy who makes his living by pretending to know how things work.
You don’t A D D much to the D I S C U S S I O N with hyperbole and all caps.
