The real question is why ANYONE would give any credence whatsoever to someone whose only talent is to make faces into a camera while reciting lines that someone much smarter than him wrote.

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.” This account was established in 1843 to accept gifts, such as bequests, from individuals wishing to express their patriotism 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. Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.

He’s so smart he’s stupid.

Really ... for all these uber wealthies who say they aren’t taxed enough... they need to have a program for that.

The IRS needs to set up a way so that these “altruistic” uber wealthies can voluntarily pay more.

I’m sure that will cure our whole national problem. Because I keep hearing that they all want to pay more to the government.

Inwardly, folks like Matt and his compadres feeeel a deep-seated guilt for being successful..

One way they attempt to assauge the guilt and sharing the blame for being so successful is by re-appropriating ‘OPM’ and donating theirs to noble causes like global warming and hunger while they party with dictators and dickheads...

Classic DemocRat the last 100 years.

Matt Damon’s payday per movie is around 27 million dollars. If he were taxed 90% of that he’d pay to the government $24,300,000, leaving him with $2,700,000 to live on. He doesn’t have a problem with this because the number of movies he stars in permits him to live quite comfortably. The average American, however, if faced with losing 90% of their income to the government, doesn’t have the ability to simply go out and earn more by working more.

None of the suggested tax increases would hurt these folks that much. Let’s see how Mr. Damon would react if the govt were to put in a truly progressive tax. One that would put folks such as himself up it an 80 - 90% bracket.

Matt Damon’s mommy is a professor, and Damon has several “Nothing” diplomas that confer that he was good enough to pass a liberal arts course.
Which means he’s smart enough to lock wits with a slime mold.

A: He is NOT a great actor, IMO. A GREAT actor is one who convinces the viewer, so completely, that he IS the character being portrayed, and NOT the dumbass, anti-American, knee pad wearing, mouth piece for a Socialist pretender in office.

B: Learning 4 syllable words from a Mother who is an educator and attending less than 5 months at Harvard does not qualify one as a judge of National, or International, Economics, Foreign Policy, or even Sidewalk Safety.

Matty: STFU and count your millions that you refuse to use to help our economy or job situation.

He was raised by a teacher.

The man has a good heart, and seems to be reasonably intelligent, but he hasn’t thought things through.

One thing he doesn’t seem to grasp is the inefficiency of government. If the government takes $1M from Mr. Damon, after the bureaucracy and corruption overhead, it would be amazing if $100k was spent to help someone.

He’s a good actor, and probably a nice fellow, just a bit confused.

I don't think Matt Damon is dumb. His mother is a teacher and I assume she is a good teacher and sincere person. She asked her son to stick up for teachers, meaning, stick up for her, his mother. Also, Damon is afraid that he'll be demonized for being rich by envious Americans, so he tells the world, “Take my money! I don't need it! Give it to teachers!” Damon's arguments are stupid, but I doubt he's stupid. More likely, he's being emotional (instead of rational and objective) or disingenuous.

Damon usually phones in the same performance. He doesn’t have much range at all. He was brutal to watch in The Adjustment Bureau.

No. 1 Does anyone have his phone number?

No. 2. When I was younger I said something stupid like - Rich is not all it is made out to be and that money couldn’t by happiness yada, yada, yada. Then one day I found myself poor. And guess what? IT SUCKS!

The Bourne Ultimatum is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

I quit reading right there. The Bourne Ultimatum was a bucket of tripe, a liberal progressive wet dream of a movie. I.E. evil CIA rightwing leaders killing US enemies at any cost = evil, so then the poor liberal hero must conquer the evil rightwing conspiracy.
I prefer to think of The Bourne Identity as a standalone movie, as in the story stops at the end of it. The other 2 got progressively preachy and more liberal in tone until it was sickening.

Here's how hollywood actors make millions:

Light that bounces off them and is captured by celluloid.
