The GOP doesn't represent all the 1%, just the selfish, short-sighted ones who put cash before country...


Only 375,000 Americans have incomes of over $1,000,000

Between 1979 and 2007, incomes for the wealthiest 1% of Americans rose by 281%

During the Great Depression, millionaires had a top marginal tax rate of 68%

In 1963, millionaires had a top marginal tax rate of 91%

In 1976, millionaires had a top marginal tax rate of 70%

Today, millionaires have a top marginal tax rate of 35%

Reducing the income tax on top earners is one of the most inefficient ways to grow the economy according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

The tax cuts were never meant to be permanent. Letting tax cuts expire as scheduled would pay down the debt ...

The patriotic millionaires gave a GOP Senator a slap when he said:


"We hear this quite a bit from rich Democrats. 'Please tax us more,' they say. Well I know a lot who don't say that I'll tell you that. As the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, I feel obligated to inform Mr. Plouffe that the president and all those rich, liberal Democrats who are eager to pay higher taxes can do just that. They can write a check to the IRS and make an extra payment on their tax return to pay down the federal debt. The option is right there at the bottom of their tax return."


They smacked him down and trashed his childish propostion:


"A few of us voluntarily writing a check to the IRS will not fix the problem that Sen. Hatch and his colleagues created for our country with their fiscal irresponsibility. It will take the work of all patriotic Americans to create a strong foundation for our continued prosperity. We are willing to do our part by paying higher taxes. It is clear Senator Hatch and many of his colleagues are not willing to do theirs. We challenge Senator Hatch and the other millionaire members of the Senate to put their country first and raise taxes on people like them – and us – who make more than a million dollars a year. In the meantime, if Senator Hatch would like to make a personal contribution to the IRS to help his country, we pledge to match his contribution."


Just like a JPP righty, the Republican solon refused to pony up and dodged the challenge by changing the subject and spewing Murdoch-media talking points...read his weasly letter here:
