Taxes - "Put up or shut up"?
Usually, I don't like Congress's valuable time wasted just to make a point; however, this one has me thinking a little differently...
This is from a Wall Street Journal editorial column:
"Mr. Campbell says he has heard the 'cries' of those wealthy Americans – Mrs. Clinton, Warren Buffett, Barbra Streisand – who reject the lower tax rates passed in 2001 and 2003 and complain that they and their fellow rich don't pay enough. 'It's a great injustice that citizens wishing to fulfill their dream of paying more taxes cannot simply check a box on their 1040 form to make a donation,' he says. His bill would give liberals a chance to salve their consciences without having to raise taxes on millions of Americans who already feel overtaxed as it is"
