And why do spoiled brats who inherited their wealth, like Steven Forbes, Richard Mellon and George Bush, vote Republican?Why do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?They are elitists who think they are saving the world.Why do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?
People vote on more than just taxes. That is the simplest answer.Why do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?Because those guys make millions for working a couple of months out of the year. A raise in their taxes will do nothing to hamper their lifestyle.
Not all hollywood stars are democrats and not all "silver spoons" are republicans.
I imagine it would have to do with how you see the world.
Our tax system does work that way. Its a marginal/progressive tax system and has been for quite some time (if not forever)Why do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?most are so rich it doesnt really impact them that muchWhy do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?
Because they're Communists.
The super rich don't have anything to worry about.
It's the middle class that worries, because at some point our taxes will go way up, as well.
This creates a rich class and a poor class.
And then sooner or later, we no longer own our property.
...it's for the "common good".
dont know
but the fact is
if you make less than $100,000 and you vote republican becouse there going to lower your taxes you are not very brightWhy do big Hollywood starts vote Democrat knowing full well they will raise their taxes?
Perhaps they care about other issues besides just taxes and money. Perhaps they care about the environment and human rights, and that's the reason why they vote Democrat.
Because Hollywood Stars believe they should pay more taxes, but refuse to do so unless forced by the government. Hollywood stars would pay more under Bush's tax laws if they failed to incorporate and instead paid straight income tax like us regular folk, but they don't do that. I wouldn't give these guys a halo if I were you.
PS: The rich pay the majority of tax dollars already.
PSS: Staunch conservatives want the fair tax, not the flat tax. They're two different things. The fair tax being a sales tax. The would mean people that buy private jets would be paying boatload more.
actually, the "stimulus" bill includes massive tax cuts for hollywood. its no surprise they supported obama.

The stars work for their money and know what it's like to struggle, they don't mind helping the less fortunate. Silver spoon babies expect things to be given to them not taken away.
It's not because they support poor people so they must be liberal.
Democrats will raise taxes on anyone that inherits something.
Dems leave more loop holes for high dollar accountants. Rich people don't pay taxes with Dems in control. Just look at Obama's cabinet!
Well, I have no clue. As for this stimulus bill, did you know that in it there is going to be TAX BREAKS for movie companies? I have no problem with that. The problem I do have is that other industries will be getting tax raises.
Maybe they just agree with the Democratic party's political views.
Because some people know what excess is and others never get satisfied.
You're right %26amp; wrong. Dems raised taxes on the rich, correct, but the SUPER rich can always find ways aroiund it. The ones who get screwed are those small biz owners %26amp; savers %26amp; hard workers that pass into the lower fringes of rich.
That's why no flat tax.
They don't mind because they don't mind sharing.
They know they will still have mind-blowing amounts of money to spend on stupid and sane things.
Many Hollywood stars grew up in middle class families and they know that they can help others without doing without so much as a toe ring.
Now the entitled ones, like Mellon and Bush et al, they see the money they got from their families as being something to cling to as they don't have the capacity for making their own money in that magnitude any more. So its jealously guarded. And to their mind it need to be protected lest the great unwashed masses get their hands on it.
Perhaps they realize that once you get over a certain net worth, the marginal material benefit from additional income or wealth drops to zero. In English, that means really rich people don't lose anything from higher taxes other than fictitious accounting entries.
However, many of the wealthy are unable to realize this. They are afflicted with a certain cognitive pathology which assigns money/asset accumulation subjective value in its own right. It all really just boils down to the feeling many people get from dominating others; since money and financial assets are representations of economic power, it's the pursuit of economic power for its own sake.
Actors are generally known to be liberal. Combine that with the $millions many make each year, %26amp; a tax raise is relatively negligible. They can AFFORD to be liberal! As for the "spoiled brats" you mention, they don't have star status, so they compensate with greed.
Many stars have money in off shore tax shelters
