There is nothing to stop loving, bighearted, all-caring, ever-giving, ever-compassionate liberals like Bill Clinton and Ben Affleck from giving this money they are so upset about having to charities and government donation funds. This applies to every ultra-rich liberal who is complaining that it just isn't fair that they got so much money back.

I would be curious to see exactly how much some of these fellows pay in taxes, as well as how much they get back. The wealthy can afford accountants who are familiar with tax code loopholes that enable them to legally lower their claimed "earned income" a considerable amount. I've personally always considered these high income bracket taxes to be meant to place a barrier between those-who-have and those-who-are-close-to-having.

Clinton, Affleck, and their ilk are hypocrites to the first degree. I am still trying to understand how some of the richest folks in this country can claim to represent the interests of the middle classes.

The bias of the media is proven by the fact that so few reporters ask these big-shots who complain about their tax cut why don't they just give it back--or give it to charity. It is the most obvious question but they never seem to think of it.
