There are many wealthy people that have stated that they would not mind paying more income taxes...but as long as the tax breaks for them are availalbe they of course will use it to their advantage.

Martha Stewart...just a week or so ago stated on the Cuvuto show that she for one does not mind at all paying taxes and would be willing to pay more in taxes. I have heard some wealthy stars say that they would not mind paying up to 50% in income taxes...but have said that they would like to keep at least $1.00 out of every $2.00 they earn.
Just because a few people want to pay more taxes does not mean we should impart their will on the rest of us. Tell them to make a donation to the government if they are so inclined.
