Bill Gates says he needs to pay higher taxes but nobody is stopping him

Microsoft founder and multi-billionaire Bill Gates is angry over the fact that he is not taxed more than the average American. "I need to pay higher taxes," he told Fareed Zakaria of the Commie News Network (CNN). Zakaria, you may remember, was an advisor to President Obama while pretending to be an unbiased CNN journalist.

Gates is the second richest person in the world. He also slammed the GOP Tax Cuts and Jobs Act because he believes everyone should pay more taxes to the government.

"People who are wealthier tended to get dramatically more benefits than the middle class or those who are poor, and so it runs counter to the general trend you'd like to see, where the safety net is getting stronger and those at the top are paying higher taxes," he pontificated.

Nobody is stopping Bill Gates from giving money to the United States government--all he needs to do is visit the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and give whatever he believes is reasonable "for general government purposes and for the specific purpose of paying down or reducing the public debt."

He just won't do that because he wants others to do it too. In other words, it's only the right thing to do as long as he isn't alone in doing it. Of course, that's illogical and a guy who invented Windows, should know logic better than all of us.
