Super-Rich Obama Should Give Taxpayers Their Money Back
Public Service: By his own admission, Barack Obama is now fabulously rich. So why are middle-class taxpayers paying him roughly a million dollars each year?
According to the New York Post, Barack and Michelle Obama are "on their way to becoming a billionaire brand."
The article notes the many ways the Obama's are turning eight years in the White House into an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."
Michelle earned a $65 million advance on her book, "Becoming." She's also making beaucoup bucks on a speaking tour. Ticket prices for her "Conversation With Michelle Obama" in Brooklyn next month range up to $4,070. There will also be plenty of money made on merchandise sales.
But Barack Obama spent his entire political career bashing the rich.
So, here's a modest proposal for Barack Obama.
Since he's clearly "made enough money," why not give back the $207,800 that taxpayers fork over for his presidential pension each year?
And how about covering the cost of the many perks former presidents also get? Such as the $536,000 in office space that taxpayers are providing him. Or the cost of his lifetime Secret Service protection. Or his gold-plated health benefits. Or his staff, travel funds, and free postage.
The total cost to taxpayers of these benefits: More than $1 million a year.
Heck, all Obama would have to do is give 3 speeches and he'd more than cover that tab.
As Cummings put it: "Taxpayers should not have to pay for a former president's allowance if the former president is making a comfortable living earning more than $400,000 a year after leaving office."
Amen to that.
But Obama doesn't have to wait for Congress to act.
So how about it, Mr. Obama? Why not take a minute from your Top 0.01% lifestyle and give hardworking taxpayers their money back?
