Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of "The View," recently expressed her opinion that Americans should pay more in taxes. Speaking on a recent episode, Goldberg, who reportedly has a net worth of $60 million, stated, "The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, a multimillionaire, told Americans on Thursday that they need to ‘suck it up’ and ‘pay a little more taxes.’”

Goldberg acknowledged that many Americans are currently struggling financially but still insisted on the importance of contributing more in taxes. She noted, “A 90-day pause doesn’t mean anything to anyone because people, as you said, are struggling with everyone that they’re living with on a day to day basis. Now you know what we’re fighting against.” She added, “If you’re in an area where the school district is losing, then you got to pay a little more taxes and you gotta help the schools out. If you’re finding that your libraries are falling apart, you have to give more."

Goldberg's remarks have sparked debate, particularly within the context of American taxpayers' concerns about government spending. As reported by various outlets, her comments have been viewed within differing political lenses.

"I also believe that it’s very important to remind people that now is the time for each and every one of us to suck it up and make sure that we know what we need to take care of," Goldberg concluded.

The conversation continues to unfold as it resonates with different audiences across the nation.
