talking about how they don’t pay enough in taxes. Why does no one ask these people what’s stopping them from writing a massive check to the US treasury by close of business today? Quit paying lip service and put your money where your mouth is.

Or could it be that these clowns have ulterior motives when they spout this stuff?

They know which side is intent on taking their fortunes. They are willing to cut off a finger to save the arm.

I just finished watching the HBO biography called Becoming Warren Buffet and it was pretty interesting. Buffet is a strange dude, not fond of his politics but he seems like a fairly decent man. I know he's given a billions away to charity, his best bud is Bill Gates so that gives you some insight to his personality. He says he's not really into politics but I have to say he's a classic liberal/libertarian but leans more liberal. I would encourage anyone to watch that show. It's interesting how many of these uber rich folks are either agnostic or atheists.

What the hell is the matter with you son, don't Americans have a right to express their opinion? Don't you right wingers love rich people? Maybe you should listen to them if that's the case.

It’s all about “pulling the ladder up behind them”

You see, they’ve attained wealth beyond imagination using the old rules. They and theirs are set for life, so now it’s time to change the rules and screw everyone else who could use his playbook in becoming rich. God knows these scumbags won’t forfeit their fortune and join the plebes in the bread line. No, they have more money than they can count, so frick everyone else up next

Where did you see anyone say that he shouldn't be able to express his opinion? Oh right, you didn't.

We do have an expression in this country that goes "Put your money where your mouth is."

No, we just don't hate them like the left does.

Because they are hypocrites boy. They need to act instead of just talk. It’s the same with the illegal immigrants, they need to open up their own homes to house them if they are so concerned. Maybe people would start taking them seriously if they actually backed up their talk.

The super rich guys really don't have ulterior motives on the tax end.

Look when you have the Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, et al money, the tax rates don't matter to you especially on income since they for the most part are not taking a regular type paycheck. When you have 20 with 9 zeros behind it in net worth I suspect your outlook overall, changes

A lot of these guys give their money away any way, but that being said they keep a sizeable amount for themselves in trusts.

While we call them hypocrites on all of this have we ever asked why they are for this?
