I shared a clever video in 2011 exposing the hypocrisy of rich leftists. They claimed to support higher taxes, but refused to put their money where their mouths were.
Now we have a new version.
One difference is that the first video asked them on the spot to pay more tax. This time, Steve Moore merely asked them to pledge to voluntarily cough up some extra cash to the IRS.
And they refused. How predictable.
Steve should have further exposed their hypocrisy by directing them to Uncle Sam’s website that exists to accept voluntary payments.
Not that it would have made a difference. These leftists are engaged in moral preening, not serious policy.
Incidentally, I have debated rich statists on TV, telling them not to make the rest of us victims of their neurotic guilt feelings.
For what it’s worth, if they feel guilty having so much money, they should send some to me.
P.S. Germany also has guilt-ridden leftists who push for higher taxes.
P.P.S. It’s not just that rich leftists don’t pay extra tax. They also go out of their way to figure out how to pay lower taxes. Just look at the Clintons. And Warren Buffett. And John Kerry along with Joe Biden. As well as Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Bill Gates. Or any of the other rich leftists who want higher taxes for you and me while engaging in very aggressive tax avoidance.
