How is this guy a millionaire?

Quickly scanning this story, I see this;

"(Producer and Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength member Charlie) Fink, who lives in Washington, D.C., said if the Bush tax cuts do not expire, the country 'is digging itself a big hole by foregoing revenue.'"

Which begs my original question; how does someone become wealthy enough to get into this stupid group with such complete misunderstanding of how basic economics works?

HOW?

Here's a brainer for the moron; whatever it is that you think you don't need or want of your pay, please go ahead and make a donation to the U.S. Treasury Department. They will gladly accept your check...but leave ME out of whatever grand scheme you have for attempting to "fix" whatever it is that you perceive to be the problem.

Whatta Dolt.

Me, I'm looking at methods for insulating myself and my meager wealth from the likes of these poseurs, including all of the usual tricks, and up until the recent exposure of confidential client information and identification, was considering doing some banking in Switzerland.

There must now be talk of doing this all off of the official record, including using unconventional terms and goods, and from what I've been reading in my usual haunts these days, this type of thing is quickly being adopted by more folks every day.

The Tax Man can cometh, but can not take away what he doesn't know exists, and best to keep it that way.
