then give the money back, John Legend…
Friday, 25. February 2011
John “A Millionaire” Legend is an amazing musician and maybe played at the White House recently… whatever, I guess when you’re a celebrity at the White House your opinion on the politics of the country is newsworthy. He is mad at politicians for giving him back so much money in taxes, from this story:
“People fought to give me — a millionaire — a tax cut this year,” he said. “I didn’t need it. And all the other millionaires didn’t need it either.”
The singer said he’d benefited from cultural organizations such as community choirs and arts councils in earlier years, which often suffer when budgets get trimmed.
“I hope our politicians will not think that they are expendable and they can just get rid of them and nobody will feel the pain,” he said. “Because I think society will feel the pain.”
And he’s right, it’s wrong to cut funding to the arts - and sports – programs for young people. But if he’s so mad about all the money he gets back in taxes, he can give it back. No one in Washington is going to say, “No, no, that’s yours. Sorry. No take backs.” And even if they wouldn’t take it back, he could donate his tax return to some programs for the arts.
So, this is sort of a “preach on, but shut the hell up” situation. And no, this has nothing to do with me being jealous of a talented, good looking, rich guy dating a super model. I am jealous. But, that’s not what this is… (under breath) stupid rich guys, getting all the models, stupid models, they don’t know what they’re missing, I’d show em’ what’s up, tell you what, I don’t even want to be a millionaire, I’m for the people, an everyman, yeah, who does he think he is anyway, oh god, my life sucks, where’s that Rocky Road ice cream, oh yeah, I ate it all last night while masturbating to a John Legend concert on Fuse TV, damn…
