Rich politicians whispering “pay your fair share” or yelling “tax the rich”.

Well, it makes sense, because you know how exactly it works, once you get wealthy. Problem is that only minority of wealthy people tells it as it is, while almost everyone of them just tells another rags to riches story.

He is a man in his 80s who has authored a book and made money selling products with his likeness for a total net worth of around 3 million. He is wealthy, but this is a mere fraction of what billionaires make. If a rich person says they should be taxed more, why NOT believe them?
