Some of America’s Richest Say ‘No, Thanks’ to Bush Tax Cuts

”It’s obscene that Washington is handing out tax breaks to millionaires with one hand and shredding the safety net with the other,” said Marta Drury, a member of Responsible Wealth, a national network of affluent Americans advocating what they term ”widespread prosperity” and concerned that a deepening wealth divide in America is undermining the country’s social and democratic fabric.

”So I’m calculating my 2004 tax cut and donating it to organizations fighting for responsible, fair, and adequate taxes. I don’t believe that people like me with incomes over $200,000 need $69 billion in tax cuts,” Drury added, referring to the total estimated value of 2004 tax cuts granted Americans in her income bracket.
