Google: Ex-Google manager wants to pay higher taxes
Former Google manager Doug Edwards would like to pay more taxes. He asked US President Barack Obama for this at a so-called "town hall meeting" of the career internet network Linkedin in Silicon Valley.
"Would you please raise my taxes?". Edwards is said to have asked the president. In response to the President's question, he is reported to have said, according to SDA, that he did not have a job, but that was his own decision. In his opinion, those who could afford it should pay a higher capital gains tax to help those who are not so well off.
Edwards worked at Google from 1999 to 2005, when the company was expanding rapidly. Obama had come to the career network meeting as part of a three-day trip to promote his political course and collect donations for the 2012 presidential elections.
