At least Ben and Jerry want to pay MORE and are willing to pay MORE in taxes. They just want everyone else to do the same. So do these folks – MSNBC Progressive (“Lean FORWARD!”) commentators all. They, too, harp on this all the time. Unlike Ben & Jerry, they just don’t pay their own taxes (reformatted, emphasis mine):
National Review’s Jillian Kay Melchior reported Wednesday that, along with Al Sharpton and Melissa Harris-Perry, two more MSNBC stars are not paying their fair share of taxes. Touré Neblett, co-host of “The Cycle” owes the IRS a cool $59,000. Joy-Ann Reid, a former anchor and now a regular contributor to the “Lien” Forward network, owes New York almost $5,000 in back taxes. As we reported last week, Melissa Harris-Perry owes the IRS $70,000. Al Sharpton’s tax bill is upwards of $3 – $4 million.
The fact that four MSNBC stars, all of whom must earn a pretty sweet 1% living,
do not pay their taxes, should surprise no one. The Left is now officially the Do-As-I-Say-Not-As-I-Do Party on all issues, not just taxes, but also feminism, the environment, political contributions, and corporate windfalls.
They may not be paying their taxes but they DO want us to do as they say – with no dissent or you’re a bigot, misongynst, homophobe who hates the poor – you anti-government anarchist! YOU NEED TO PAY MORE TAXES but we’ll never forgive your white supremacy and micro-aggressions, you racists!
How DARE you bring up that we owe Uncle Sam. Leave us alone, because: OBAMA!
My response? Let me quote our white VP – BFD.
