Ever notice how the MSM brings up the tax pledge, and especially Norquist’s name, more than we do? I think they think it’s supposed to be embarrassing.
Ok, you folks go first!
What’s keeping you from stroking a bigger check on your own. After all, your dough will go to such grand programs that always work!
Now that they’ve already acquired their wealth and probably have minimal income anyway.
Funny, no one on the right is saying if the left wants to pay more in taxes, they could check off the box and put in the amount they want to send to the government.
This should be an ad.
I support every Obama voter, supporter, to pay a 75% Federal income tax. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!
I would love Beck or Limbaugh to offer to host an event where wealthy Democrats and Liberal entertainers could come and write checks for One, Ten, One Hundred Million dollars payable to the Federal Government above and beyond what they pay in taxes.
Joke’s on them: Democrats, activists and occupiers don’t care what rich people think.
After all - rich people have too much pull in our society.
It is SO easy to call for higher income tax when...
1) you already got yours
and
2) you can now afford a tax attorney who can HIDE your “income”.. you wealth is safe.
What about philanthropy? What about donations to charities? What about voluntary contributions to the government?
Well they’ve already enjoyed low tax rates enough to accumulate their pile of assets. Will they retroactively pay the higher tax rates for years past? Or is that just for people climbing up the ladder now.
front of the card:
How do I make a contribution to the U.S. government? Citizens who wish to make a general donation to the U.S. government may send contributions to a specific account called “Gifts to the United States.” Money deposited into this account is for general use by the federal government and can be available for budget needs. These contributions are considered an unconditional gift to the government.
back of the business card:
Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below. Gifts to the United States U.S. Department of the Treasury Credit Accounting Branch 3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D Hyattsville, MD 20782
Feh. Its easy to call for higher payroll taxes on the ‘rich’ when you don’t receive a paycheck.
No one will stop them from writing their own check to pay more.
Why does their guilt over not paying enough taxes apply to the rest of us?
Lunatics, disingenuous azzhats, and clueless brainwashed ideologues.
Maybe they don’t care about the term ‘rich’ so much as the concept of ‘achievement’ and ‘success’.
Of course you know we are all one mass of undifferentiated being... with NO distinctions whatsoever. No one should have more than the next guy-EVEN IF HE WORKS HARDER!! (sarc)
Because THEY have loopholes. (Ain't nobody gonna touch their stash!) If they can get higher taxes on OTHER PEOPLE, the politicians will leave THEM alone.
Anyone who believes they should pay more in taxes can simply go to the IRS website and click on the "Donate" button. Problem solved. Everybody is happy.
As others have pointed out, just another bunch of millionaires who have already accumulated enough to last out their lifetimes. What nobody wants to address is the bogus use of $250,000 in income as excessive or “rich”. For years attempts have been made for the IRS to consider indexing. Try telling two income families in New York City or Washington, DC that they are rich because they make a combined income of $250,000, most of which is spent on housing, local taxes, and transportation. Hold to artificial definitions of rich like this and you further encourage people not to get married. Just another blow against the family and a civilized society.
Being a declared Conservative in San Fransqueersco will get you disinvited from all the society functions.
It simply means that those particular wealthy folk would benefit somehow with the changes. Nothing more.
