Having had a drug addiction 15 years ago doesn't change his current status. Would he be happy to pay, say 80% tax on his earnings so people less fortunate could become a little more fortunate? I doubt it.

80% sounds a little excessive, but I think he (and most actors/actresses) would be cool with like 55-60%. Above 60% is pushing it imo.

Don't see a problem with a voluntary 80% bracket so that kindly, concerned souls such as Russell Brand can pay the way they so dearly want to.

true dat. that's actually a very good idea. voluntary taxes. instead of donating your money to sketchy charities that might spend it on shady stuff (and there are a lot of those out there), you should be able to donate it to the government, so they can decide what the best thing to do with it is.

except that would never work. You really think people are going to willingly donate 80% of their income lol?

well it's not like you would have to donate EXACTLY 80%. you could donate however much extra money you want on top of your taxes. I don't know how much taxes your average liberal millionaire actor/actress pays. it varies by state, but most of them live in California obviously. I think cali's top marginal income tax rate is like 13%. So add property, sales, and all the other taxes in there, maybe the richest people pay like 30-40%.

I'm sure many of them would willingly go up to 50 or 60%. I mean, plenty of them already donate comparable amounts of money to charity

yh but you don't get to feel all noble and benevolent by giving money to the government do you

no one's banning you from donating money to the government lol

u can do that already. voluntary extra taxes (i.e. donations) exist

That's the point being made though. A lot of celebrities that talk about the rich doing more for the poor folk should have it made as easy as possible to pay a much higher tax rate. Consider it the "Money Where Your Mouth Is" tax bracket.

oh really? Did not know that. if that's the case, they should really do a better job at making people aware of it.

unlikely, but it'd put douche bags like Brand in a bit of an awkward spot lol.

Fuck knows who wants to pay more money to the government though.

Unless you could direct it towards things that are actually useful

also it'd work the same way as current tax... you'd only pay 80% of earning after say £1,000,000

send money to build roads.

Or to pay off the debt

Dear Government
I enclose $10 for your expenditure on one bullet.
Please see that it is targeted wisely.

I bet similar donations are made all the time.
