I know. Crazy idea. use your own money to make the world better and stop stealing the money of others.

 

[tooAlive]

This is something I don't quite understand. Both Buffet and Gates have publicly stated they believe in raising taxes and feel they don't pay enough as it is.

Now, I respect Bill Gates for all that he's done and all that he's given to charity; but if they feel they're not paying enough taxes, why aren't they? Nothing is stopping them.

What's worse is they THEN make a big deal about raising taxes on millionaires,etc....!

Do you realize what fools Buffett/Gates/Obama must think we are??

I mean these idiots moan and groan about "oh geez, I wish I had to pay more in taxes but unfortunately my tax rate is lower then our secretaries!"

Do they have such disrespect for Americans intelligence that we wouldn't ask the simple question.."Guys why not just donate more"???
More importantly I am SURE like Obama who DEDUCTED 14% of his adjusted income Gates/Buffett wrote off against their adjusted income their donations!

Unlike Romney who gave $2.5 million more BUT didn't take it as donations write off against his adjusted taxable income!
They [Romneys] paid $1,935,708 in taxes, giving them an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent.
The Romneys donated $4,020,772 to charity—nearly 30 percent of their total income, which is very impressive indeed.
Next, however, trustee Malt notes that “the Romneys claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of those charitable contributions.”
In other words, they didn’t take a deduction for nearly $1.8 million in charitable donations— donations for which they would have been perfectly entitled to take deductions.
If the Romneys’ income were taxed at the 15 percent rate levied on investment income, that means the Romneys needlessly paid an extra $270,000 in taxes.

So .. why didn't Obama do that? He wrote off ONLY 14% of his adjusted income to donations!

[healthmyths]

I know why they don't donate to the Government!!!

It's because their philanthropies are more efficient then giving more money to the government!

Seriously when they like most Americans read where OUR GOVERNMENT did the following:
- spent $2.6 million to make sure prostitutes in China drink less on the job.
- $1.44 million in federal funds estimating the size of the population and examining the “social milieu” of male prostitutes in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

tax dollars spent on prostitutes in China/Vietnam?? Does that really make anyone feel good about sending money to the IRS when it's being spent so foolishly?

Here are some more examples from Senator Coburn's report...
-- Though skeptics say there's no such thing as a free cellphone or service funded by the federal government, Coburn's report shows otherwise. It estimates that taxpayers are subsidizing phone service at a cost of nearly $1.5 billion a year. Though the roots of the program can be traced back to an effort in the 1930s to make sure all Americans had access to telecommunications, it has morphed into a program that provided free cell service to some 16,500,000 participants last year.

- The report spotlights widespread abuse of the food stamp system -- including an exotic dancer who earned more than $85,000 a year in tips, but also collected nearly $1,000 a month in food stamps while spending $9,000 during that time period on "cosmetic enhancements."

You will also get to watch the Gates and Buffet types object to capping deductions. They will attempt to get exceptions for "charitable" deductions. Odd how the foundations they donate to hire so many of their family and friends.

Because it wont pay down the deficit until our politicians actually commit to paying it down. We send more money to Washington, we are just throwing it down the drain. Much better to take care of our families then give Washington more of our money to waste.

It doesn't matter how much money we send the government, they always spend more than they take in.
