“The single most popular proposal we had was to reduce taxes on working people, and lift the higher rate.  Let’s give an incentive to work, and let’s ask the most fortunate in our society, including me and you, to do our fair share.  And we ought to do that again.”

– Al Gore, Nov. 2012  (link)

But apparently Al Gore thinks all the One Percenters’ EXCEPT HIM, should pay the “fair share” schtick….. (New York Times) … Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday. (link)
