MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski has good news and bad news for America's rich white guys. The bad news: they caused all of our problems. The good news: they can be a part of the solution!
All they need to do is pay more taxes. Brzezinski says unless these top cats start pulling their weight, tax-wise, don't be surprised if a full-on class war breaks out.
Brzezinski laid it all out on MSNBC's "Morning Joe":
“I just don’t understand why with top earners doing better than ever, why they can’t be a part of this equation. ... And if you looked at The New York Times yesterday, and you saw the top 30 earners, and how much money they are making all over again, including some of the people who drove us into the ditch – all white men, by the way, just one woman – and I didn’t see any African-Americans – I think we have a problem that we need to address as a society.”

The rich, regardless of ethnicity or gender should be contributing more. Period.

Um yeah. I think I've acquitted myself of being fairly liberal in social matters but if you want to solve society's ills through higher taxes on "The Rich" it better be regardless of ethnicity and gender and beyond the top 30 earners.

I think they should be contributing more, too. Taxes should be based on a percentage of your wage, regardless of how high your wage is.
