Why is Warren Buffet the only rich American who stands up to his obligation to pay more in taxes? How do all these other rich public figures feel about America?
If the people we elect to serve us in Washington are not rich before their terms, they are later. Entertainers and public figures have a lot to say about everything, what about their taxes? Then there are those like Donald Trump who seem to blast off regularly, and they all live pretty good. And, yes, sports figures should pay more, too.
It seems the taxes are heavy only for the unlucky lottery winners who pay their share off the top. Actually, the only way I'll be rich is to win the lottery, so I guess if I want to be like most rich Americans, I'd better start figuring out ways to avoid real taxes.
