"That's a total bullshit argument and you know it." No it isn't. If YOU want to contribute more to the treasury then YOU can bloody well do it. Send them a check. But don't tell me that I need to. I already pay my taxes.

>> hat's a total bullshit argument and you know it. That's all nutjobs ever have to say about it -- it is a "bullshit" argument; however, they never quite explain just WHY is it a bullshit argument. I see no reason at all that those who are demanding higher taxes shouldn't just pay them and leave the rest of us alone. If Morgan Freeman and Spielberg and Gates and Buffett want higher taxes there is nothing stopping these assholes from paying them. But Buffett has flatly stated that he believes Bill & Melinda Gates can spend his money more wisely than the government can. The truth is these people don't want higher taxes on themselves. Last year, Obama gave $48,000 to his kids to avoid the 55% estate tax taking more than half that money. This sounds like a fucking lying hypocrite to me -- someone who wants higher taxes for other people but not for himself.
