Paying Higher Taxes is "Patriotic"?

I have to laugh in the face of the hypocrits on the left who say that higher taxes are "patriotic". No one is stopping them from donating all they can to the Federal Government. No one is telling Obama, Biden or any other Federal Employee that they have to accept their paycheck and benefits package. Just think how much money the federal government would save if all the Senators and Representatives who are financially independant simply told the paymasters to keep their paychecks and defund their benefits packages. Just think of how much more money the government would have if the Kennedies, Obamas, Kerrys, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, the Baldwins, and all the others would pay in taxes what they would have if there were no "Bush Tax Cuts". Why are they waiting to see if Obama wins? Why don't they take the initiative and start donating the amount that their "patriotism" would demand after Obama's tax plan goes into effect. For that matter, why do they use tax deductions. If higher taxes are patriotic, then how unpatriotic of them to seek to reduce their taxable income level, just to avoid the full extent of their patriotic duty. Why aren't the best and brightest lefties of the Music Industry forming USA for USA, singing songs and organizing concerts to pay down the debt? Oh yeah, they are singing songs and organizing concerts, not to pay down the debt but to fill Obama's warchest. If all of what they claim to be for can be done voluntarily, why do they only seem interested in making sure it is done by force? ~~~~~ btw, if paying higher taxes is patriotic, isn't Obama discriminating against the poor and middle class by reducing their opportunity to show their patriotism? ;~D
