To quote Pelosi, it sounds like Astroturf. Anyone want to bet these are all Democrat millionaires who benefit from the government?
Was Charlie Rangel one of the signers? He’s very much in favor of increased taxes, since he doesn’t pay them.
And they likely don't pay much in the way of taxes, anyway -- as they arrange their financial affairs so as to minimize income taxes and maximize wealth.
If you've got a $billion invested in tax-free municipals, another billion invested in real estate and a third billion invested in gold or common stocks -- plus trust funds and foundations -- you may well not report more than $250,000 in adjust gross income.
If they feel their taxes should be higher, then they should write a bigger check.
