I love Rush’s suggestion today that Obama should not take any campaign donations from anyone earning over $200,000
After all, those are the very people O is targeting for not paying their fair share.
In addition, the President gets a non taxed $50,000 expense account for expenses that most people don’t have, travel expenses, free house and entertainment account (all non taxable) in that amount of at least $400,000 . So, the money he makes that he does pay (and dodge) taxes on goes a little further than most of our paychecks go, so he should be even MORE generous than the rest of the millionaires in my opinion.
“I don’t need another tax cut,” Obama said last week.
He doesn’t need another tax cut because he’s already accumulated his stash. Plus he likely has Swiss bank accounts supplied by Soros, the Chinese, and the Iranians.
Buffet, Gates, and other megabillionaires also claim they should pay more taxes. Again they already have accumulated more wealth than most of us can dream about. I’m still waiting to see one wealthy liberal who thinks she/he is undertaxed step up to the plate and write a big voluntary check to the US Treasury.
When I see one of them voluntarily turn over 50% of their accumulated net worth (not annual income)I’ll believe they are sincere. Until then it is all empty rhetoric. If the Republicans had any fighting spirit, they’d call Obama out on this issue and insist he ante up voluntarily. However, there are only jellyfish in the party so we hear nothing.
