Manny's Hosts "Tax the Rich"--What a Good Idea!

This morning's SF Chronicle was particularly interesting.  One of the most interesting articles was on millionaires begging to be taxed.  I attended the first two hours--a limitation due to the fact that I drove and had only two hours permitted in the meter I chose.  (Another argument for public transportation, but I was under a time constraint today.)

It was fascinating and convincing. 

Here's what I posted on Facebook (getting next to no interest--but still more than I get for this blog).

Well, that was fascinating--and inspiring!

Millionaires urging higher taxes on themselves! "Inequality isn't just morally wrong--it's unsustainable." "Patriotic Millionaires say that Income inequality is un-American. It's time to tax the rich."

I went to Manny's this afternoon to hear a forum of "Patriotic Millionaires" advocating for their paying more of their fair share.

Among the people I heard speak were Robert Reich (not a millionaire but on to their gaming the system), Emmanuel Saez, Gabriel Zucman, Bill Lazonick, Leslie Marshall, Shannon Monnat, and Paul O'Brien. I could stay only two of the three and one-half hours, but I learned a lot and got a lot of swag including red, white, and blue M & M's saying "Tax the Rich." Let's do it!.
