Judd Silver of Irvine hit the nail on the head over a month ago in a
letter to the Los Angeles Times, writing in response to a wealthier person who doesn’t think the rich are taxed enough.
Allow me to remind the writer that if he feels so tormented that he isn't paying enough taxes, there is no law preventing him from writing checks to the U.S. or state treasury over and above what he actually owes.
Exactly. Leftists talks as though they are prevented from doing all these things they want the federal government to do. In most cases, they are free to do such things on their own. They are free to pay higher taxes. They are free cut their own carbon footprint. They are free to employ people and pay them higher than the going rate. But they want to use federal government power to force other people to do it, too.
Others expressed the same thing as Silver, such as Richard B. Williams of Woodland Hills.
To every multimillionaire who got rich in front of a keyboard or camera, I invite you to start paying your taxes at the Clinton levels to show us how sincere you are.
Yes. Put your money where your mouth is. If you don't like the TEA Party message that we are taxed enough already, then go ahead and set a good example by paying more of your own money.
