They have enough to pay someone to hide it from the IRS for them.

"The country needs to meet its financial obligations in a just and responsible way."Agreed!
Just: a flat tax where EVERYBODY pays into the system
Responsible: cut spending before raising anybody's taxes

They already made theirs.
You don't get charged income tax on your assets.
They want to punish the people who are actually still trying to get where they are by working and generating income.
Selfish, self-serving bastards.

we are eager to do our fair share. BS. They're wealthy enough to exploit every tax loophole/shelter. ...of which there are plenty.

To quote Pelosi, it sounds like Astroturf. Anyone want to bet these are all Democrat millionaires who benefit from the government?

So what, exactly, is stopping them from turning in 50% of their gross assets each and every year?

From what I’ve been hearing, many more of the ultra wealthy have been moving their money offshore since the Jackass in the White House was elected.
Don’t worry their cash is safely tucked away where Bammy can’t get his grubby Marxist hands on it.

We should thank the state for allowing us to keep the wealth that it doesn’t take from us.
To: South40
during our nations moment of need, we are eager to do our fair share. So write a check to the treasury and leave the rest of us alone.

If these 45 ***holes were really “patriotic”, they’d send every penny they have to the U.S. Treasury. These maggots need to shut up and put their money where their big mouths are.

So, why don't they donate their assets to Obama if they so want to help him?

Now, during our nations moment of need, we are eager to do our fair share. No one is stopping you from doing what you think is your fair share, but you don't have to force your irrational views on others who don't want to have their wealth expropriated.

“Forty-five of the nations wealthiest taxpayers, dubbing themselves Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength, are asking President Barack Obama to let tax breaks expire for those making more than $1 million.”
There are over 6 million millionaires in the U.S. so speak for yourselves.

I love this comment from the link:
Out of all the millionaires in the United states they could only find 45 that were that dumb.
