Cavuto to ‘Guilty’ Millionaires: Write a Check to Uncle Sam Now!
A petition signed by 45 “patriotic” millionaires has been delivered to President Barack Obama and congressional leaders, encouraging them to allow the Bush-era tax cuts to expire at the close of 2010. But during his “Your World” broadcast Monday afternoon, Fox News‘ Neil Cavuto dedicated a full segment of his program to address the millionaires’ “guilty” feelings.
“Why write a letter when you could all just write a check?” Cavuto asked, suggesting if they felt the need to contribute more, they were more than welcome to. “Why wait for your answer, guys? Pay more now!”
Among the most widely recognized names on the list are billionaire Warren Buffet, DJ/musician MOBY and Jerry Cohen, the “Jerry” of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Though he admits Buffett is a good friend and a great businessman, Cavuto says Buffett is wrong when it comes to raising taxes.
Cavuto urged the group to consider the many small business owners who would be significantly burdened by any increase in their taxes, especially during a struggling economic recovery. “For goodness sake, quit speaking for all those 2 percenters right now, especially the ones nowhere near what any of you are making now,” he said.
In the group’s 155-word letter, the “Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength” say they hope their taxes will increase on the first of January:
We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more.
During an interview on ABC’s This Week, Buffett told host Christiane Amanpour that “people on the high end, people like myself, should be paying a lot more taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it,” he said
