NY Times - OT Socialist Crew l Tax Me More, Europe’s Wealthy Say

[Dakotah C]

A group of about 50 wealthy individuals in Germany, who have been campaigning for a higher top tax rate since 2009, said last week that it welcomed the French petition.[/quote]



In Britain, where no top executive has yet joined the call for raising tax rates, the government is investigating whether the current rate of 50 percent on those making at least ?150,000 (about $245,000) has actually improved public finances.

Even if you take half their income each year they are still rich and better off than every other class.

to be fair brah, you're not quite in the upper stratosphere like these people to even warrant complaints

 

[Tyler]

I will never understand commoners defending the wealthy elites. Yet the wealthy elites are more than happy to contribute more for the good of the entire society.

 

[Tha Truth]

also, funny how they listen to Buffet advise them on how to fix shit properly

our govt, the politicians who are funded by large companies, lobbyists, etc.. don't even give a fuck

 

[Brendon]

No kidding. Just ask Warren Buffett. He whines that the rich aren't taxed enough, yet that piece of shit Liberal taxes every tax break he can.

If he had any real balls, he'd put his money where is mouth is and only volunteer not to take any deductions that would cause him to pay less than 50% taxes.
