Millionaires Stage Pro-Tax Protests

The Washington Post published an article on a group of wealthy liberals who are asking for the government to raise taxes on them. They hope to “send the message to Congress and President Obama that it's time to roll back the tax cuts on upper-income taxpayers”. Mark J. Perry has a few suggestions on how to increases taxes on yourself without the government having to raise taxes for all wealthy individuals.

 

However, have these millionaires thought about the option to donate to private charities? I wonder what makes them believe giving more money to the government is the best way to improve society. I would think they would recognize the inherent inefficiency the government exudes, and would turn toward non-profits as the best way to improve society. Private charities aren’t surrounded by red tape and slow moving bureaucracies like the government is—non-profits can more effectively use their resources. All wealthy people should not be coerced to pay higher taxes due to a few irrational millionaires.
