President Obama has some deep pocketed support on his proposed fare share tax hike on the richest 1% ranging from billionaire Warren Buffet to now hip hop mogul Shawn "Jay Z" Carter who says he too wouldn't mind paying higher taxes.
Jay, who is among the wealthy 1 percent, responded, “I wouldn’t mind paying more taxes if it went to the things that really mattered. If it went to education, to people in poverty, if it went to the right things, I wouldn’t mind.” This is a big statement coming from one of the richest hip-hop artists in the rap game. He has plenty of money to give back. According to Forbes, Jay-Z earned $37 million within the past year alone. He will certainly double those earnings next year thanks to his collaborative album ‘Watch the Throne’ with Kanye West and their accompanying sold-out tour.
