why oh why doesnt somebody tell them its a FRee country, and that they can piss away their fortunes to the fed, pro choice and all that...grab a pen b!tch...
The proposal is not to tax the rich..but to tax highest income earners. There is a big difference. Many of the rich don’t have much taxable income..their wealth is in real estate, stocks, tax free bonds, trusts and valuables. Warren Buffitt has most of his wealth in Berkshire stock..which pays no dividend and only takes a modest salary. Most of his travel and expenses are business related.
If we proposed a tax on wealth..you would see these people singing a different tune.
I am leaning toward a law that says that if someone publicly says THEY want to HAVE TO pay higher taxes then THEY have to pay them. I wont fret the details because it wont happen.
But they should make their tax returns public.
