Even Millionaires Think The Rich Should Pay Higher Taxes:

That has to be a joke! I don’t know who Richie Rich the reporter was talking to when he took this survey? If some of the very wealthy did make that statement it must have been under duress or they were smoking something.

I can’t imagine that a bunch of Scrooges wanting to voluntarily  part with more of their rubles.

CNBC:

In the heated debate over inequality, the wealthy are usually portrayed as the cause rather than the solution.
But CNBC’s first-ever Millionaire Survey reveals that 51 percent of American millionaires believe inequality is a “major problem” for the U.S., and nearly two-thirds support higher taxes on the wealthy and a higher minimum wage as ways to narrow the wealth gap.

There is always going to be a big disparity between the “haves and the have-nots” that is never going to change.

There is one thing that is the most precious to people in this world that have the bucks and believe it or not their family is not # 1 – it is the soldi. I know people personally that if their mother was passed out in the middle of a busty street next to a 10 dollar bill and a garbage truck was headed directly at them, you can bet that Ma Ma would be on the curb for the next garbage truck that went by.

Let us put this into prospective. They are saying 2/3 of the mega wealthy want to pay more taxes. I don’t believe it. It is not a huge secret that the more money people have the cheaper they are.

Secondly, the “mega buck set” allegedly  support raising the minimum wage so it would help narrow the wealth gap. I want to understand this correctly. If the minimum wage is increased by 3.00 an hour, these less fortunate people will be closer in their financial status to the millionaires. That makes sense to me.

It is a known fact; the very wealthy are some of the cheapest people on the planet.

There is a very well known basketball player who makes millions a year that walked away from his team in Cleveland a few years back.  I think you know who it is. He went into a local eatery with his entire entourage, ran up a bill in the hundreds, the owner did not charge him for good-will purposes and the cheap ass dude left a 10.00 tip.

Are Rich People Generous Tippers?

“The coffee place near where I live always has a full tip jar (working-class clientele) while in the upper-middle-class areas, they are always empty,” From DC wrote. Mark Hammitt said he believed there was an “inverse relationship between the affluence of the givers and the generosity of their gifts.” Nic wrote, “Having worked in the restaurant industry for years, as well as fund raising, I’ve noticed time and again how those who have the least tend to give the most.”

No one can convince me that these cheap non-tippers  that are worth millions and will not drop a dollar in the tip jar want to voluntarily give the government more tax money than they are already paying?

I often wondered who funds these worthless surveys that are taken?
