Most Millionaires Support Warren Buffett’s Tax on the Rich

By Robert Frank

Warren Buffett isn’t the only rich guy who wants to higher taxes on the rich.

A new survey from Spectrem Group found that 68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income. Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners.

Buffett, as you might recall, has proposed raising taxes on million-plus earners, saying the ultra-rich pay lower rates than everday workers.

Rich people’s opinions of Buffett remain fairly positive in the wake of his tax-me-more crusade. More than a third of millionaires and ultra-high-net-worths said they have a more positive opinion of Buffett after his tax proposal. Only 19% of millionaires and 22% of the $5 million -plus group said they had a more negative opinion of him after the proposal.

More than 40% of both groups said their opinion hadn’t changed.

In other words, Buffett’s proposal had more supporters than detractors among the rich — though that support declines slightly as you move up the wealth ladder.

It begs the obvious question then as to why Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and the Teabaggers are so rabid dog supportive of the the glaringly small minority of super wealthy? Their relentless zeal to give even more tax breaks to people who have absolutely no need for them, while simultaneously increasing the tax burden on the middle class and the working poor, slashing and burning benefits for workers and cutting funding of social programs aimed at assisting the destitute, the unemployed and the elderly, it truly makes one wonder who the fuck's side they are on? Oh "we're on the side of the job creators," they will say. How often does that hoary old myth need to be debunked before it's seen as the load of cockamamie horse shit that it is?

So - to put it matter of factly - we are now at the stage where a majority of Americans, Democrat and Republican, support higher taxes on the super wealthy. A majority of millionaires support taxes on the super wealthy. And yet a small minority of self serving, ideological assholes in Congress are holding up progress on this issue and and in the process preventing America from getting back on the path to national recovery. Why? And what is their motive? And when will the whore media stop pretending that this isn't a situation of a corrupted minority thwarting the will of the majority?

The Occupy Wall Streeters are absolutely fucking right as to why shit needs to change. And it begins with making the job destroying, super wealthy pay their fair fucking share not only for the carnage that they created with their Wall Street gambling sprees and their under-writing of ill-advised wars of choice, but also because they have so rigged the system in their favor that it undermines the chances of anyone else in American society getting a leg up on the economic merry-go-round.

The "job creators" clique needs to be brought down a few pegs to even the playing field. It doesn't get any more simple than that.
