Wait … what? “NCIS” actress and Obama supporter Pauley Perrette has no respect for nouveau riche celebs who are against tax cuts for the wealthy? That doesn’t sound very progressive.
@PauleyP you mean you want tax cuts for the rich?!?!?!?

A little clarification seems to be in order.
Clarify: I'm SO in the 1% I WANT my taxes raised to go to #teachers and #FirstResponders NO TAX BREAKS FOR RICH #GoObama

Hey, Pauley, if you believe government is the answer to all the world’s woes, you can write a check to the U.S. Treasury any time, doll. But if teachers and first responders are your top priority, you might want to make that check out to your local government.
@PauleyP you can actually pay more now without government mandating it. Your accountant can help, it's very easy to do.

You can even donate to this newfangled thing called “charity.”
@PauleyP 1% doesn't need gov't to give their money to schools, hungry kids, homeless, etc. Just give and make urself little less than 1%

@PauleyP the "gov't tax on 1%" argument makes me crazy. If you have tons of money GIVE SOME AWAY !! Why do u need gov't to do it for you?

Never mind all that. Pauley knows what the GOP really wants:
GOP (Greedy Ol Party) Rich people want their tax cuts to be less than the 99% of folks that need them so they STAY richer
— Pauley Perrette (@PauleyP) September 8, 2012
Or, you know, maybe the “Greedy Ol Party” wants everyone, job creators and employees alike, to prosper by keeping more of their hard-earned money.
I believe in supporting non-profits and I do, over 30 of them. I believe in civil rights for all and I fight for them.

Question for Pauley: When the bloated, inefficient government takes more from charitable givers, you know who gets less? Think about it.
