Politicians believe there is no limit to the tax burden that can be imposed on citizens. Apparently they also believe that behaviors do not change as tax law changes. French Actor Gerard Depardieum disagrees. 

Depardieu  is moving to Belgium noting he has paid $145 M Euros in taxes over his working life time. The government called him pathetic, he responded that success, recreation, talent, must be punished by the governmnent, and that  he refused  to be called pathetic. 

The Hollywood Left has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Administration's higher tax proposals. I wonder if I can send Jamie Foxx or Alec Baldwin or Barb Striesand  my bill for the higher rates?
