LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

It’s time for the wealthy to show their generosity

The wealthiest 2 percent of the nation are, for the most part, both generous and philanthropic. They are interested in a cause or charity they believe in (aside from the tax deductions they benefit from).

I would like to propose that all the millionaires and billionaires collectively put a full-page ad in the largest newspapers in the country supporting repeal of the George W. Bush tax cuts for which they were the major recipients. Not only would this be altruistic but patriotic and, above all, fair. They certainly could afford the additional tax increase and help ameliorate our fiscal crisis.

Ignore the anti-tax Tea Party activists and Republican deficit hawks. The wealthy thrived in this country — now is the time to show their appreciation.
