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

Already exists. It's called "Voluntary Contributions To Retire The National Debt". Just make out your check to the US Treasury and send it in, they'll take it. I challenge liberals to do this all the time when they start their "more taxes" jive. The fact that they don't do it exposes their hypocrisy.

Yeah....but no one knows about it.

Someone high profile needs to make waves about its existence. The GUBMINT even! They could call it the “True Patriots” program and make these wealthy limousine liberals put their money where their mouths are.

About four years ago, liberals in Minnesota formed a group called “Happy To Pay For A Better Minnesota”. They even put up lawnsigns in many areas - usually liberal areas of the Twin Cities.

In return, then-Gov Pawlenty set up a fund at the Minnesota Department of Revenue in which those who felt they weren’t paying nearly enough in taxes could make a voluntary donation.

Not surprisingly, they weren’t many takers.
