Because their argument is not that they, specifically, should pay more in taxes. It is that the highest tax bracket should be taxed at a higher rate. To equate the two is a straw man argument.
- tomjen3 16y agoExactly. I was pointing out their hypocrisy.
- _delirium 16y agoI don't see how that's "hypocrisy". They're arguing that all people in a bracket, including themselves, should be taxed at a higher rate. Arguing that doesn't logically require also being willing to go it alone. Advocating raising taxes on the rich while hiding their own money in offshore bank accounts to avoid those taxes; that would be hypocrisy.
