Not just a millionaire, he's a CEO as well
And another one of the richers to echo the sentiments of the Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength.
In a speech before the U.S. Council for International Business yesterday, Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris joined the tax-me-more crowd, saying, “I can tell you the highest taxpayers, including me, should be paying more“:Whew! He was lucky they didn't throw their croissants and petit-fours at him. On the good side, the accumulation of a thousand CEO's begins with one man.
“Come on, everyone over a certain threshold of money — and you can define what it is — but I can tell you the highest tax payers, including me, should be paying more,” Liveris said during a speech on Wednesday night…”Come on, we are underpaying for our future.”
CNN Money noted that “while his speech did garner applause a few times, his call to raise taxes was not applauded.”
