Typical libs, they want you to pay HIGHER taxes, but not them. Liberals actors, STFU and pay what you want us to pay. If you want LESS taxes, tell those morons in Sacramento to lower all taxes.

‘Wondered when the glitteratti would start it’s formal threats against Cali. It only preaches economic justice for people as long as they are not the ones picking up the tab.

I’m shocked, shocked to find Hollywood liberals say one thing (proclaim that they would love to pay more taxes) and do another (lobby for tax breaks for themselves).
