Another actor speaks his mind on taxes.

[Whovian]

Gay and proud of it, George Takei always seems to speak in a direct fashion and often with great humor. In this, he speaks truth.

[Bonobo]

1. Hell, George, the US government threw your parents in jail for being of Japanese descent.

What's a little tax compared to that?

[tavalon]

7. George Takai is a good,respectable man,

and that sounded snippy to me. Did I misunderstand?

I've had the pleasure of meeting him and his husband on many occasions and he is good through and through. Impish but good. And forgiving. While he just recently put on a play about the internment camps, he is at peace with what was done to him and his family. I'm not saying he thinks it's right, he knows it was wrong. And I'm not the least bit surprised that he knows the minimal taxation on rich people is wrong. He has a very good and moral compass. It points true north.

[Bonobo]

9. You completely misunderstood. nt

[tavalon]

13. I kind of thought so, that's why I asked.

[Kennah]

10. I don't hear snippy. I hear someone in the one percent who gets it.

[roguevalley]

25. he's such a good man. everyone I know who met him loves him so much

he's completely genuine, a gentleman and a good guy

[RudynJack]

8. Not just his parents

George himself was interned during WWII.

4. A man with

$ and willing to share it. Because he knows it will make the entire community

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. George Takei is a class act.

[progressoid]

5. The sad thing is that George's wealth pales in comparison to those at the top.

Rec for George.

One of the last greats left from Star Trek. An awesome dude to boot.

[LongTomH]

20. Thank you, Captain Sulu!

George has always been a class act! BTW, I was present at a Star Trek convention back in the early 90s when George was trying to sell his concept for an "Adventures of Captain Sulu" movie or TV series to the big studios. It's a pity they didn't take him up on it.

[Kennah]

27. Captain Sulu, IMHO, was the most bad-assed Star Fleet Captain ever

Kirk was the hound dog.
Picard was the poet explorer.
Janeway had to almost be mothering.
Sisko was bad-assed, but not as bad-assed as Sulu.

[sheshe2]

21. Thank you George!

Well said.

[Bette Noir]
