Jane Fonda: ‘All the rich people I know’ are ‘saying ‘tax us” Published: 11:53 AM 12/13/2011 | Updated: 12:03 PM 12/13/2011 By Nicholas Ballasy
Video aerobics instructor Jane Fonda told HLN’s Joy Behar that “all the rich people” she knows are “saying, ‘Tax us.’”
Behar asked Hanoi Jane, “What do you make of the fact that when you know, when people say, ‘Gee, these very, very mega rich people should … pay their share, should be taxed also and stop getting tax breaks,’ and other people are like, ‘No, you can’t do that. It’s so wrong to tax these rich people.’”
“And oftentimes that’s right and oftentimes there are poor people that are saying that,” Fonda responded. “And the only answer that I can come up with is because, it being America, those not-so-rich people feel some day I’m going to be rich and I don’t want to be taxed.”
“I think that we will end up taxing the rich,” Fonda added. “And that’s just fine by me and all the rich people I know, like Ted Turner and Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, you’re, they’re all saying, Tax us.”
The exchange occurred on the December 9 edition of “The Joy Behar Show.”
Fonda also talked politics with CNN’s Piers Morgan on December 8, saying she wishes President Barack Obama would be “stronger” in office.

And all those pilots wanted you to shoot them down.
We believe you, Jane. Because you’re famous.
Uh huh. Now tell us how many of them didn’t vote for Obama.
I’ll believe Jane Fonda when she puts her money where her mouth is. How much money, above and beyond her taxes owed, has she sent to the federal government?
obviously we need higher tax brackets for people registered as Democrats.
Reminds me of that famous quote: “How did Reagan get elected - nobody I know voted for him”
She knows Ted Turner?
i do not give a shit what this communist traitor troop killing bitch has to say....... if she died in a steaming pile of crap tomorrow, i would not even bother to finish reading the story... she is the lowest of the low, a virtual scumbag with bad breath on top of it... go to hell you traitorous bitch.... die in a fire while suffering from severe constipation.....
Jane, there is nothing preventing you and your moronic leftist friends from making a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury. In fact, there are provisions for sending in such a check. You can even write “because I’m a useful idiot wracked with guilt for earning a big living while playing make-believe” in the memo line.
Jane,
Just send me the money; and I will ensure it goes to help people.
Thanks
I heard that was Nixon who the quote was about.
And of course all of these rich people don’t have tax accountants that will tell them how to minimize their tax liabilities, eh Jane?
Liberal belief:
Rich people control Republicans.
Rich people want higher taxes on themselves.
If the above beliefs were correct, taxes on the rich would certainly be higher by now.
The big question for Democrats is: Why didn’t you raise them when you had the votes to do so?
Hell I don’t even want them to donate their money to government. I want them to hire Americans or invest in industry.
No one is stopping them from handing their money to the fed.
