“While the wealthiest taxpayers will gain financially if Republicans and the president successfully extend the Bush-era tax cuts in Congress, a group of millionaires and business owners said they will be disheartened if they pay less taxes next year,” ABC News reported in 2010.
“Members of the Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength, a group of 89 millionaires, petitioned President Obama to allow tax cuts on incomes greater than $1 million to expire at the end of the year, as scheduled.
“Morris Pearl, a managing director with BlackRock and a petition signatory, said he was ‘sad’ rather than angry at President Obama for agreeing to the proposed tax cuts.”
