Notice Oblahblah’s answer is the latest DNC talking point. Basically, somebody invested in your education, the roads, schools & police forces so you have an obligation to “give back”. Well if that’s the case then what about the 47% who pay no taxes? What’s their obligation?

“Raise my taxes” = “Hold muh beer!” in self-hating-leftardish

Total lie and the guy is a plant. No one is holding him back from paying more money to the Feds. He must have been in trouble with the law and they made some sort of deal with him to say this nonsense. Like I said if he wants to pay more the government he can right checks to the IRS. Total fake! Don’t fall for it for one second.

I’m wondering if anyone can pull this guy’s taxes from last year.

I would bet 1000 to 1 he paid as little as possible and took tax deductions.

Notice that all these "raise my INCOME taxes" folks have succeeded in generating enough income to acquire enough WEALTH to take care of themselves forever. They will live off the WEALTH and really don't need the INCOME any more. And they have the WEALTH sheltered in ways that do not get taxed.

Those of us still living off our income are begging to get taxes lowered.

This is simply the wealthy trying to keep others out of their club - class warfare.
