I disagree with some of his opinions, but I strongly agree that the super rich need to pay more of their share. They hire the best lawyers and financial advisers who are experts in hiding their wealth, defraying taxes incurred, stashing assets in offshore banks, incorporating outside the US in tax shelters, etc. Bear Sterns gave millions to Obama!

I vote for the revolution. It’s time to cull the herd anyway, and get rid of the freeloading class that we taxpayers have been supporting for decades.

End the Dole! End all government subsidy. Let the rich keep what is theirs. Everyone else is entitled only to what they can earn and keep in the society they choose after balanced taxation. Income should be tax free so that each man keeps what he earns. (Off soapbox)

This article is very lefty. However, I do have to agree they can be sneaky in not paying what law prescribes. I wonder if the article would support a fair tax and get rid of the income tax? That's what I think is the best solution

I, personally, would rather see money in the hands of the ‘super rich’ than in the hands of a politician. Politicians squander wealth.

Let me tell you the beginning of a story, and see if you can guess how it ends:

“First, they came for the Billionaires. I didn’t have a billion dollars, so I didn’t speak up for them.”

It doesn’t have a happy ending.

The rich won’t make even a decent appetizer. We’ll be at each other’s throats in no time. That’s what always happens when society aims to for the quick fix.

What is their appropiate share? The top 1% pay 38% of the income taxes in this country. Almost 50% of Americans pay no income tax. What is a fair share for all Americans?

The wealthy are nothing other than the successful poor and middle class.

And what gives the government the right to take money from successful citizens?

Advocates of Obamacare argued the 14th Amendment - equal protection.

QUESTION: why does it apply to health care, and not to taxes? Hmmmm?

It’s always easy to spend someone else’s money.
Thanks for the communist manifesto.
It’s our greedy governmet which is destroying the economy
with unsustainable debt.

Why are you fomenting class warfare? The super rich pay more in taxes than most people will earn in a lifetime.
The economic benefit from those wealthy create capital.

You could plunder the wealth of this earth and never pay down our $60Trillion in unfunded liabilities.
Then what will become of the wealthy? They will cease to exist.

Oh ONLY if the federal government had a little more tax money, THEN it would exercise fiscal responsibility.... (sarcasm off)

The dumbest article I have ever read. You could give our federal government 100 Trillion and they would still manage to spend more than they have. Don’t you get it!??? It does not matter how much money you give them, they still spend it all every time.

So to give them more money is NOT the answer!

You’ve been watching too much TV.
The wealthy and super wealthy can only go so far with not paying taxes unless they broke the law.

Some are international and that is a different issue, if America wants to sue everything and have a bad business climate, then why should anyone come here?

How about we get rid of all the write offs for EVERYONE. Make one tax bracket and just have EVERYONE pay?

This buys into the left world-view. Don’t tax them. Stop subsidizing them and make them compete like everyone else. To do that, you must remove the power from the government to give them other people’s money and to prevent others from competing againstthem. A large portion of the super rich are there because they figured out how to employ the guns of the state to favor their acquisition of money, to give them money or to protect them from competition.

If you take their money and give it to the state, their money will be used to direct more money and power as the state desires—achieving the opposite of the desired effect. It may change who is super rich and who is super powerful. But it will not change the fact of their existence because of an overweeningly powerful state.
