Always had a lot of time for Stephen King…

King himself currently pays taxes of around 28% on his income, and at a recent rally in Florida wondered publicly why he was not paying a higher rate of 50%. You’re unhappy about it? “Cut a check and shut up,” was the response from his listeners, the author writes in a piece for The Daily Beast entitled Tax Me, for F@%&’s Sake! “If you want to pay more, pay more, they said. Tired of hearing about it, they said. Tough shit for you guys, because I’m not tired of talking about it. I’ve known rich people, and why not, since I’m one of them? The majority would rather douse their dicks with lighter fluid, strike a match, and dance around singing ‘Disco Inferno’ than pay one more cent in taxes to Uncle Sugar.”
