The world’s second or third richest man (depending on the day of the week) is singing away in the New York Times about how the ultra-rich should have the snot taxed out of them.

"I gots the blues, the billionaire blues, I gots the silly old white man billionaire blues."

From the official newspaper of record:

“Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office.”

Warren thinks the ultra-rich aren’t taxed enough and that they should be taxed more even though corporations already tired of 35% tax rates are relocating to places like Switzerland with 15%-16% tax rates. Will the ultra-rich be next?

When is someone going to get the right idea and lower taxes like JFK in the 60s? Lower taxes and the ultra-rich and corporations will be happy to stay in the USA. Missing jobs and tax money will reappear and the economy will pick up.

If you’re so patriotic, Warren, why don’t you write a check to Uncle Sam for a few billion and get your ultra-rich buddies to write them, too?

Why not a flat-tax, Warren? Then everyone would pay fairly!

Hit it, Warren: “I got dem billionaire blues, ’cuz I’m rich I be tellin’ everbody what to do, even if it makes me look like a fool, I got dem billioinaire blues.
