富人的稅收，意外的共同話題

周六，把剛寫完的“富人還是那些富人”(http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog.php?blogID=53461)放在網上不久，就有網友回帖, 說45個自稱“愛國百萬富翁”的富豪們聯署，要求政府廢除布希時代的減稅法，增加富人的稅收。

接著，晚些時候，Buffet接受采訪，再次呼籲給富豪階層加稅，巴老的意思還不是加一點點，下麵是他的原話和Link。因為整個采訪內容要在28日播放，新聞裏隻是一點摘錄。聽說還有別的內容，有興趣的到時再去了解吧。

“If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further,” Buffett said. “But I think that people at the high end — people like myself — should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.”

“The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we’ll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last ten years, and I hope the American public is catching on.”

周末的博客意外地撞到了相同的話題，不過，這些話由富人自己出來是最有說服力。國會很快要開始就是否延續減稅計劃開始辯論了，現在隻有一部分傾向民主黨的富有階層站出來疾呼，共和黨那頭的好象還是鴉雀無聲。考慮到兩黨的積怨已深，到時估計又是一場互不買賬、雞同鴨講的局麵。

雖然美國的問題不是富人加了稅就能解決的，但在這個亂世之秋，有人願意犧牲自身的利益，勇敢的站出來，大喝一聲，“我們不能在這樣下去了”，這才是美國精神的體現，也才是一個國家的希望。
