How long before the Celebs who support Obama start their new ad?

campaign for the tax increases Obama wants?. "I am the 1%. I am one who does not pay my fair share. I just bought a multimillion dollar home while supporting a man who says the rich are evil and telling you that you don't do enough to help others from your one bedroom apartment. I am one of the reasons the EPA will soon double your energy costs even though I will have no problem affording to heat and cool my home or put food on the table and $9 a gallon gas in my $250K car while you have to pick between shoes on your kid's feet or food in their stomachs. I am the 1%"

    Their hypocrisy has been duly noted and it's too bad the likes of Springsteen - a New Jersey guy hasn't been up there shoveling snow and helping their misery.

    Sir Paul McCartney (a Brit) is an avid supporter of Obama, which reminds that during his Beatles era George Harrison penned a song "The Tax Man"

    "

    This is a bitter song about how much money The Beatles were paying in taxes. People with high earnings pay exorbitant taxes in England. Many successful entertainers leave the country so they can keep more of their money. As a result, The Beatles - as well as The Who and The Rolling Stones - spent a lot of time in America and other parts of Europe as "tax exiles."

    Harrison: "Taxman was when I first realized that even though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it away in taxes."

    So, celebs sometimes say they are willing to pay higher taxes but, maybe the reality is quite different.
