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

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.
