As heard on NPR...

On today's "All Things Considered", some rich folks complained that they aren't taxed enough (in parenthesis, both of them were born rich rather than making their own money). The both actually petitioned their senators to increase the rate in their bracket.

I could barely contain my anger. If you want to pay more taxes, you can do it now - just check a box on the form and you can give as much as you want to the Federal Government. There is a mechanism for that.

No, what you want is to tax me. And, frankly, I do not want to pay a cent more to compensate for your twisted materialistic upbringing and your rich man's guilt. Go hire a shrink or something.
