George Lucas is your typical hypocrite “progressive”

George Lucas may have lost his soul regarding the Star Wars series, but he’s crazy like a fox when it comes to his billions:

[...] That Lucas struck a deal in 2012 may be no accident either, advisers say. Long-term capital gains tax from the sale of assets held more than one year are taxed at a rate of 15% for investors in the 25% income tax bracket or above (Lucas’s level), and zero for investors in the 10% or 15% bracket. Those rates are set to jump to 20% and 10%, respectively in January. “He probably wanted to take advantage of the lower rate on long-term capital gain while it’s certain,” says Bill Smith, managing director at CBIZ MHM, a national accounting and professional services provider. [...]

He's a Sith Lord, no doubt.

This is the expertise of compassionate left: they preach to us about how we are not patriotic because our taxes are too low, and that we're not paying our fair share, while avoiding taxes themselves like the bubonic plague.

Hypocrites. All of them.
