It cannot be repeated too often: Obama and Warren Buffet and all those others who claim they want to pay more taxes are now, and have always been, perfectly free to donate large sums to the government without any necessity for changes to tax rates for others. In fact, isn’t it unseemly that they make such a claim and then allow their financial agents to seek out any and every possible deduction when preparing their returns? Their protestations are despicably dishonest, on the order of the serial murderer who cries “please stop me before I kill again.”

These people are liars, pure and simple. They don’t want to pay more taxes, else they simply would. They want others, us, to pay more taxes.
