In an extensive interview with Vulture, The Officer creator says the liberal celebrities who want politicians to raise tax rates “are the ones willing to pay more.”

Nobody is stopping you, dude. Lead by example. You can write your own checks to the government till you can't stand it, if that's what you want to do.

I was just about to write the same.

If other folks aren’t being forced to “give” more it isn’t progressivism.

Yup, if you ever see the “volunteered to pay higher taxes” argument, you know you’re reading/listening to either an idiot or a liar.

If they wanted to pay more, they’d whip out the checkbook.

But none of those people plan to pay those higher taxes because they make their money in ways that wouldn’t be subject to those taxes.

They’re volunteering for YOU to pay higher taxes, and for them to get to continue the wide variety of financial scams that they engage in on completely different terms.
