Check out these asshats who want to pay more in taxes.
What makes them asshats? Not that they want to pay more in taxes - though this quote is "rich":
"I would with pleasure sacrifice the income," agreed millionaire entrepreneur Jeffrey Hollender.
If only we all had income like that to spare. Look, if higher taxes is your position, that's fine. Their asshattery, though, is here - they are contributing what they are "saving" from the Bush tax cuts not to the federal government, which is perfectly legal to do and would actually back-up their assertions (or walk their talk, if you pefer), but rather:
They are among 50 families with net assets of more than $1 million to take a "tax fairness" pledge -- donating the amount they saved from Bush tax cuts to organizations fighting for the repeal of the Bush tax cuts.
Come to think of it, I do support this group. Let's pass a bill raising taxes on those 50 families. I wouldn't want their pledge to go unfulfilled.

Virginia saw this coming a while ago with the "Tax Me More Fund". Which, predictably, hasn't done very well.
