Millionaires Group: Tax Us to Cut the Deficit
7th June 2011
The group, known as Patriotic Millionaires, regards the reductions signed into law by PresidentGeorge W. Bush as “one of the worst decisions that members of both parties have made in the last 50 years,” according to Erica Payne, founder of the Agenda Project, a public-policy group that is helping to organize the effort. “Increasing taxes on millionaires has to be part of the solution to how we get our fiscal house in order.”
All a lie, of course. They don’t want their taxes to increase, they want to increase the taxes of everybody else. Notice how these ‘rich people for more taxes’ groups never have anybody who voluntarily makes payments to the Treasury, which they could easily do; they just make noise about increasing taxes.
