"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
What’s stopping you, you greedy geek?
His tax accountants are stopping him from paying more.
Nothing is stopping you, Bill.
Any citizen, even you, Bill, is free to write a check to the US government at any time.
Though you should know...
I tend to think that this kind of stuff is just wealthy person posturing. Show the fans in the cheap seats that, shucks, they’re on their side and really want to pay more in taxes, but they will quietly hire their CPAs to chase down every dime.
How about a refund on my Xbox I got this Christmas? I knew I shouldn’t have strayed away for my first time from Nintendo. Xbox One = piece of crap PC pretending to a be a game console.
Well, then pay higher taxes. There’s nothing stopping you, you jerk.
Bingo.....!
Shame mofos have to be made to pay higher taxes only to find a hand full of tax evasion specialists to weasel out of paying them, huh Bill? /s
HE will now that his mortgage and property taxes are limited on his federal forms! Nancy Piglosi was really complaining about this! Homes used to be an investment and tax shelter!
That's surprisingly high - about $2,610,000 more than I would have guessed.
What he REALLY means is his competitors should PAY more... Nothing’s stopping Gates from writing out a big fat check to the IRS... except that he’s full of BS...
Then let’s have an AMT of 75% for billionaires on their annual increase in worth
Fine, go ahead and pay. Cut the talk and cut a check.
Send me some money, and I’ll pay the tax for you.
There is a fine line between genius and idiot.
I respect his need to unburden himself of more billions of dollars and magnanimously offer to accept the cash and do super duper good things with it.
Then do it, Bill! Stop taking your deductions.
He’s been saying that for years. He must not know how to write a check.
Write it to the US Treasury, Bill.
And why wait til you die, Bill . .
Before you and Melinda give it all away?
Just do it now.
Oh? Why not?
You can over pay on your taxes, Mr. Gates..Tell you what, you sell your 45,000 square foot house to the local homeless shelter, and give your money in the bank and the money from the sale of your house and in 30 days, what do you have? The Gates family without money and the government without YOUR money, too.
