The White House signaled its approach Saturday by highlighting a proposal in the president's plan that would set a minimum tax rate for taxpayers earning more than $1 million.
The measure -- Obama is going to call it the "Buffett Rule" for billionaire investor Warren Buffett -- is designed to prevent millionaires from using tax-avoidance schemes to pay lower rates than middle-income taxpayers. Buffett has complained that he and other wealthy people have been "coddled long enough" and shouldn't be paying a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-class taxpayers.
Actually you CAN send extra money to the government. I just don't know ANYBODY who actually does it...
They just want ME to give more money - not them.
