RE “This country has been good to me,’’ Villers, 76, said. “I’d like to do my part to give back.’’
As part of his effort to give back, Villers has made an unusual request to the federal government: Raise my taxes, please.
Villers is one of a handful of Massachusetts members of a national organization called Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength, which supports a 30 percent effective tax rate on million-dollar annual earners under the “Buffett Rule.’’ The Senate will hold a procedural vote on the proposal Monday.

Boehner and Co in congress sit and say nothing while they are humiliated daily by these Buffetts. Don't they even believe in their own positions? How can they not respond to these? Their silence makes it look like they are protecting these rich libs who are making fun of them.
