| Why is it wealthy liberals don’t understand that if they want to pay more income taxes, they can each year on their 1040 form make an additional contribution to the federal government above and beyond what they owe? Consider the case of actor Matt Damon who on PBS’s Tavis Smiley Show Wednesday actually said, “I need to pay more taxes” (video follows with transcript and commentary): TAVIS SMILEY, HOST: Do you think that ultimately on the things that matter to you, the things that matter to me, that Obama as president

My federal tax witholding will increase upwards of $200+ per month when the Bush tax cuts for the "rich" expire.
Note, I am not rich by any means.

Why doesn´t Mr. Damon just get rid of his expensive tax attorney, not take the "loophole" deductions, and pay the same percentages as those in the middle class - like me?

Seems I´ve read that Hollyweird has an exemption from many of the excise taxes the rest of us stupid sheep have to pay.
Maybe John Boehner can offer to tighten up that loophole and give Mr. Damon his wish.
Of course, the folks that will be hurt aren´t gonna be Mr. Damon and his pals. It´ll be the pool boy, the caterer, the chauffer, and the maid who will be let go when Matt and his buds decide to cut back since Uncle Sugar is taking a few more of their not-very-hard-earned bucks.

I cannot take this guy seriously about anything.
From his latest movie: ´Michael Douglas was a wonderful kisser!´ Matt Damon reveals he ´straddled´ actor and did ´a lot´ of nude scenes in Liberace movie.
I bet in the movie Matt recreates Sharon Stones scene from Basic Instinct for Michael Douglas.

Then pay more. You have a few options available. 1)You can take the standard deduction and ignore anything that might reduce your tax burden. 2)You can take fewer deductions and pay as much more as you think you should. 3)you can just cut the Treasury a check for whatever additional amount makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Just quit trying to force me to pay more taxes. I already pay more taxes than any value I would ever receive from the federal government.

Here´s a list of "revenue enhancements" I´d support:
1. Aid to Recent Residents Accommodation (ARRA) tax on employers of undocumented laborers. 2. Cyber Democracy Project Tariff, (CyDeProTar) tax on internet campaign donations made by persons from outside the US. 3. Labor Inequality Equalization Act (LIEA) tax on union dues-- graduated by averaged salaries of members
4.Airwaves Open Frequency Act (AOFA) mandating that all Government funded media, excluding VOA, participate in an annual, week long telethon to retire the national debt.
5. Arts in Democracy Public Service Act (ADPSA)-- mandating that all actors and musical performers participate in the above or similar public appearance one day out of each year to raise money for the national debt.
6.Marital Discretionary Income Disparity Elimination Act(MaDIDEA) a 5% tax on income of all gay couples who have no children requiring feeding, educating, clothing etc.

Some of these people seem to believe that talking about paying more taxes is the same as actually taking out their checkbooks and paying them. They think their speeches are better than instructing their accountants to stop taking deductions. Warren Buffett comes to mind.
Matt, if you feel the way you do, pay up and shut up. Actions speak louder than words.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
