I love it when rich, liberal movie stars throw their support behind politicians like Barack Obama who run on a promise to eliminate tax cuts for the “rich.”
It’s really special when they say that they feel like people who have been as fortunate as they have been should be willing to share the wealth.
Of course, they’re making so much money that they won’t notice the tax increases and they’ll have no effect whatsoever on their lifestyles.
They stopped relating to couples making a combined $100,000 with two kids in college a long time ago. They’re not interested in how paying an extra $2,500 in taxes might mean a peasant having to forego a vacation.
But, I know the movie stars are really compassionate and that’s why I’m sure that Tobey Maguire, who played Spider Man, will be more than happy to return the millions of dollars he won playing poker when he finds out where the money came from.
And I’m sure he’ll be making sure that the IRS gets its share.
So will his Good Will Buddies Ben Afleck and Matt Damon.
