After all, according to lefties, no one needs that much money.
He could and should (since he fully supports obama) donate 90% of that to the federal treasury.
Apart from the obvious prodding from you, which is not worth a response - Jay Z will fall into the top 2% and won't have much of an issue paying a fair percentage in line with the small industry of people he and Beyonce create jobs for.
Besides paying his taxes, Jay Z and his wife hire studio engineers, road crew, backing singers, dancers, management, marketing teams, wardrobe people, security, drivers, songwriters, musicians, graphic artists, web designers, caterers, cd manufacturers, printers, clothing designers, clothing manufacturers, video production crews, post production houses, and likely a nanny, a gardener, a chef, pilot and a housekeeper.
You know, they're actual job creators for actual working people. Lots of them. Got an issue with that?

Thats right.
Thank you for illustrating how its best to let people keep and spend their own money in efforts to elevate their own standard of living, versus surrendering it to the state to be squandered and misappropriated on things like wars and green energy debacles.

Jay Z is an Inc, not a person. Jay Z is a brand, a corporation, a business (likely several, actually). I don't know how much salary he's paid by his corporations. His businesses will be taxed like any other business.
And, he's not going to hire any less people if he pays higher personal income taxes, as long as his businesses are in demand.

and what you fail to realize is that "Net Worth" doesn't equate "Net Income"!
He is estimated to be "worth" $500 million dollars but that doesn't mean he has "earned" that amount!
At least Jay-Z hasn't sheltered his income in Overseas accounts like Romney and has invested in his community.

Yes,he has structured the businesses to minimize his tax liability so I'm not sure why you think he would be okay with paying higher taxes when his behavior indicates to the contrary.
If he were okay with higher taxes he could always fire his accountant/tax attorney and fill out a 1040 EZ.

Every time you people point to a rich liberal and ask, "Why doesn't he pay more to the government voluntarily?" the answer is the same:
Democrats and liberals are not simply looking to get more money from some individual you might be able to identify, we are trying to get to a fairer structure, in which everyone who has benefited so richly from the advantages that our society and government provide is required to pay a fair share of the income and wealth that those advantages have helped to make possible. To ask for individual donations from individual rich people is utterly beside the point.
Should President Obama or Warren Buffett, or Jay-Z pay a higher tax rate? Absolutely, and if you ask them they would tell you so.

Oh please! hypocrisy at its best once again from a leftie.
Small businesses also hire and are job creators, but the nasty as& lefties want to belittle and demonize the ones whom have to lower pay or fire due to BO's terrible harming of small business owners in America.
But you sure will hail the black friend of BO whom makes his money singing - of all things - what contributor to society.
