I think we need to introduce a 30% surtax on income earned by actors in movies and television. This would be over and above any regular income tax that these people have to pay. Since they almost universally complain that they don’t pay enough taxes, lets give them their wish.
If that works then we can institute the same surtax on editorial writers for newspapers with subscriptions over one million.
Also make it a policy that if anyone publicly complains that they don’t think they pay enough in taxes, that they be automatically subject to a full IRS audit.
Actors, editors, and complainers....
I agree with your entire stated plan.
So far as Boehner is concerned, there is only one sort of friendly news outlet for republicans. They lost the media war during the election, and they’re losing it now.
If Boehner can get the nation to hear his “I agree to tax millionaires and above”, then it might get their attention.
So far as the spending cliff is concerned, I think that gutting the military is a huge mistake.
