A lot of these people dont really mind higher taxes, at least not the ones on this list. Im willing to bet people like Mark or Bill Gates are probably more down the democratic line than anything.
Unfortunately for us, these are not the people running the country. Its the ones with a few million who are keeping the rest of the country down with their greed.

Gotta love people who think that keeping some of what they have earned out of the hands of the govt is greed. Oh and people like Warren Buffet who endorse higher wage taxes is all just a show the reason is because he takes next to no money in salary like 200K where as his other 40 million + come from long term capital gains which is taxed at like 15%. If he were really true about saying he doesnt pay enough in taxes he would advocate for an increase in capital gains taxes.
