"......Responding to an ad produced by the group Patriot Millionaires calling for raising taxes on the wealthy, Rep. John Campbell (R-CA) — who was worth up to $37 million in 2009, the most recent year available — said he doesn’t want to pay anymore in taxes. “I don’t want to raise my taxes,” Campbell said, “I don’t want to raise anybody’s taxes.” Campbell added that billionaire Warren Buffet, who has called for raising taxes, can pay more to government if he wants to, “but don’t ask me and a whole lot of other Americans” to pay too....."

3. Nobody wants to pay taxes, that's nothing special
but this whining crybaby can well afford it so it's high time he did.

The policy of shifting the tax burden onto working people through tax cuts at the top and tax hikes at the bottom has not worked. Oh, it's made their numbers higher but if nothing is done about it, their income from those numbers is going to drop to zilch as demand dries up completely. And then there will be revolution because that state of affairs is intolerable.

So the weeping plutocrats are just going to have to use those monogrammed crying towels for a while.

8. That "cause" he derides
is only saving America as we know it.

We can be third world in a heartbeat!

Pay your fucking share asshole. You and your ilk pass self benefiting tax laws and now the party is over!

Must we build a giant guillotine to get your attention?
