How do you know they don't do exactly that, quietly and anonymously? That's really beside the point. The point is that all the rich should pay more, not just the ones who signed.

There was no point that the rich should pay more, just 100 peoples opinions that they should..

100 people, dont represent the nation, nor does 100 peoples wishes validate the wishes of 350,000 others

Way to miss the forest for the trees. Can you argue the actual point?
Congress does the same thing, you know, that beloved gigantic federal government that you love so much?

There isn't anyone stopping the rich from writing checks to the government. Hear that hollywood liberals?? Back up your bs and start taking less money or start sending more than half your income to the government.

Except, apparently, they do! It's people like you (I'm assuming you're not rich, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) who rush to the defense of the rich for some strange reason, when they themselves seem eager to lend a hand!

No, just can't stand to see people asking for someone else to pay for Govt services ....People should be able to keep a maximum about of income/wealth they acquire without the leaches confiscating it..
