Do you think Springsteen ought to stop using tax loopholes that save him hundreds of thousands each year?

How about every other wealthy person who campaigns for higher taxes, and an end to loopholes?

When Obama ends all the loopholes, and slaps on higher taxes for the wealthy, how do you think wealthy Hollywood Liberals, wealthy Liberal business owners will react when it actually hits their pocket book?

Or do you think he'll carve out waivers for them since they endorsed him and raised money for him?

Update:

EDIT/ADD:

I NEVER said Springsteen cheats on his taxes. I said that he, who campaigns with Obama against loopholes and tax shelters, is himself a long-time and current user of loopholes and tax shelters that has saved him hundreds of thousands in taxes.

Update 2:

EDIT/ADD to Bobby:

Republicans are NOT, however, the ones agitating for closing tax loopholes, tax shelters and paying higher taxes. <face palm>

Another example of abject hypocrisy is Buffet, who has been and is currently, fighting the IRS over $100 Millions in taxes the IRS says Buffet owes.

Yet, incredibly, these people support, endorse and are activists on everyone who earns over $200,000 paying higher taxes!

DO YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE HOW THIS IS VIEWED AS RANK LYING AND HYPOCRISY?

    He will (as always) use his power to reward his supporters and his friends, and punish his enemies.

    Remember, he wanted to send us to the "back of the bus".

    If you, and a lot of others , don't like Liberals who use the same loopholes that Republicans use all the time don't approve, then close the loopholes.

    "When Obama ends all the loopholes, and slaps on higher taxes for the wealthy"

    I'm still waiting for some indication that this will happen. I'm also waiting for some evidence that Bruce Springsteen cheats on his taxes.

    Too bad you couldn't get the republicans to stop lying long enough to change the law... but hell will freeze over before that happens.

    Mostly you'll keep whining.
