"People fought to give me — a millionaire — a tax cut this year," he said. "I didn't need it. And all the other millionaires didn't need it either."

He is not living in the real world. Most people who got wealthy worked 80 hours a week, took risks and have a tough life. He can't compare the ease to make money if you are a popular entertainer with typical weighty business.

First, if the SOB wants to cut a check for another 10% of his salary he can do so and just send the check to the US Treasury and they will take the money.

People who earned their money have the right to at some time expect good limited use of their tax money and not endless crack whore spending habits where they then come back to the people asking for more of OUR money.

ALL liberals who want to give the treasury are encouraged to do so vigorously and to them stay out of our pockets (thank you very much)

IMO this SOB had some BFN to tell other people they don't need their own money to spend it their own way. I'm not wealthy, but this guy is a jerk and I would suggest no one who disagrees with him should buy anything he is connected with.

Here’s an idea, John: whoever doesn’t want their tax cut can return it, and those who do can keep it.

How does that sound?

Send it in, you jerk. The ball’s in your court. If you feel you have too much, then send it to the US Treasury. But who are you to make that decision for others?

100% tax on all registered Democrats making above $10,000.

Uh, you didn't get a "tax cut" you moron! And, if you feel so strongly about it, you can always send more and more and more, but leave mine alone!

No one fought to give that idiot a tax cut. They fought off a tax increase.

Who exactly is John Legend, and why should I care what he thinks?

He has every right to send any money he thinks he doesn’t need to DC...just keep his hands off my pocket!

Hey Legend. How about releasing your tax returns for the last 5 years? I am sure you haven’t taken any deductions or used any tax shelters on your income /sarc

Who IS he? I guess I’m supposed to know? I take it he’s an actor or singer or comedian?

I think the top level would go back in Federal to 39% from 35%.
But if 28% doubled the amount of tax to the treasury from before with much lower tax rates and people got to keep more of their money (win win).
BUT, Dems then spent 1.7 dollars for every new dollars raised and therefore claimed Reaganomics didn't work because they were spending whores, but reality is he doubled Treasury funds and money to the wallets of the public.
He was a genius, the opposite of “The One”, teleprompter Barry.

How much more does he think he should pay? When he figures that out all he and his so called fellow millionaires have to do is fillout a check for that amount and send it to the U.S. Treasury, they will cash it. Problem solved without any standing in the street holering “Look at me, I’m giving alms to the poor!”.

There actually is a way to send “donations” to the Fed Gov.
Someone should dig this up and send it to his peeps.

Then he can post on Twitter a pic of his check before he mails it in.

First, there was no tax cut this year. We just held off the B’tards from taking more for their next campaign. The SOB is free to give all of his own money to the IRS. Since he’s a libturd, he is surely talking about other people’s money as he is of the “more equal” class.
