Do you honestly think that people who are that rich have not learned to hire very good accountants in which they can mess with their returns and hide their income to some degree?
sweetie, just because they're rich doesn't mean they always have been!!! SOME people don't forget where they came from, and most of them have family in the same situation as me and you!
They did their research. These celebrities are intelligent. They realize that higher taxes for some have to happen due to the failing economy. If the economy becomes bankrupt....everyone does. It is worth it to pay a little more now to fix the overall economy which will have everyone profit in the end. You should take some classes in accounting and economy.
