going into the grand bargain going into the negotiations that will determine
whether or not we go over the pacific left the republicans are being very
clear that they're willing to negotiate work hard day
so we have some quotes that are going to demonstrate what i think it is
foal
moderation info willingness to compromise than is actually
the same for for hardline stance in fact that they've ever had
of sorts go first to house speaker john bainer
uh... if he says
for the purposes of forging a bipartisan agreement that begins to solve the
problem
we're willing to accept new revenue
under the right conditions
they're just briefly
if you just read those words that sounds pretty reasonable
they're willing to accept the revenues
and i feel
fated engine given you know anything about john bainer many in this case
nothing to help yes it will continue and see if it sounds this is reasonable
what matters is where the increase revenue comes from and what type of
reform comes with it
busy increase revenue come from government taking a larger share of what
the american people car into higher tax rates
or does it come as a byproduct of growing our economy
energized by a simpler cleaner fair tax code with few early loopholes
and lower rates for all
so what he is actually saying we need to put his words are
we might be willing to compromise by lowering taxes itself
happened on it
eleven walton thank and this is a vaccine prisoner that romney one are at
bed here and on
fascinated that he wanted to lower tax rates across the board by twenty percent
and then make up for that
i closing loopholes and limiting the number of docs and that you can take
and not a partisan analysis
that's not going to pay for itself so i think that that's not true and even in
the case that you weren't lowering taxes and let's say that we are just putting a
cap on them abduction but you're allowed to take and were closing loopholes for
the rich
even if you do that like nantyfeliz he said that's still does not generate
enough granular cell yes i've probably does need to be done but the reality is
you're also going to need to raise tax rates and obviously nobody likes to see
their taxes go up nobody likes to have mighty taken out of their pay check when
you look back through history we always have a better economy when tax return
hyatt we saw that and the clinton administration we've seen it several
times throughout by history in the past
republicans like to push this idea that lower tax rates moving to better job
growth
and i had a better economy
and then there was outside a couple weeks ago that finally came out with her
they uh... found out that there's actually no correlation all between
lower tax rates for the wealthy and increased job growth any republicans an
impression in the rug until it but i don't know if that's any car that
doesn't look very good on us
f_y_i_ insists i like nobody wants higher taxes it's not fun but that is
what they need to happen if the economy's going to get any better it's
not impossible that lowering taxes to be better for the economy it's just that
based on historical evidence that we have and we do have decades
of hiring lower tax rates
it doesn't seem to be true
how much longer how many more dot recessions that we need to have we
learned that lesson
i don't remember the particular numbers and a couple of months ago juncture the
chart that showed the total number of jobs created under democratic
administrations in republican administrations it was ridiculous how
much higher was under the democrats despite the fact that for a large
portion of that
prior to uh... plan
uh... the tax rates were way higher the top marginal tax rates at seventy one
percent it was a sign of ninety one percent
i think under johnson or sometime around then
uh... so we can show you this or choose not to learn from these asserted stork
examples
republicans seem to have been cleared where they stand on that
get a couple more quote so i get to
justly innocent is not just that john bainer other people are echoing this
willingness to compromise is rep uh... tom price from george it he says we need
to look at increasing revenue through pro-growth policies as well as tax
revenue
tax revenue
which means broaden the base lowering the rates
lowering the rates
closing the loopholes limiting the deductions living the credits and making
certain that we identify the appropriate spending reductions that we have indeed
a balanced approach
what he was talking about there
was not
raising taxes not raising tax revenue it was a lot more in taxes
revenue began right
i think it's not think that people are listening to what they're saying because
i think he'll let it all
eighteen-year we want to raise revenue from taxes by lowering taxes yeah that
is impossible designate office was impossibly hard to get more taxes
pagan talents and things in there like lawrence at her closing some loopholes
and stuff like that but as we talked about and time again it just is not
going to make up for that for the lots yeah pocket what what do we go to
whatever it is actually let's go to our governor scott walker talking about this
because i think hope that someday this museum since a lot to be on the record
circle
well i i i think you look at the contrast between washington what's
happening at in each of our state houses the vast majority of us
were new governors two years ago inherited major budget deficits are
states that once those deficits without raising taxes in fact in states like
wisconsin if we cut taxes on the past ten years and revenues have gone up i
think most americans not just those in politics most americans look at what's
happening a washington think
the rest of the vote
and of our our party was on but did you notice there that his arms are
completely devastated like that but mostly it's just the picture decided
that they should have the metaphor it seems to be correct in his case uh...
so anyway that there are a lot of republicans were enjoying the same us
sort of talk i don't think that the democrats are being fooled by it
hopefully viewers of this program at least are also not being fooled by it
both the as we go to the technical she shins whether na prop obama
right hamstrung by their focus and keeping my knife anyhow
a bill that would extend the bush tax
for all americans except for the top two percent and that's sitting in the house
right now because republicans still refuse to pass it so keep in mind
democrats aren't even trying to raise taxes across the border only trainer is
among the top two percent as americans and yet
republicans are holding them hostage just you know they want which is tax
cuts for the wealthy and on that same fox's program bobby jindal set we're not
the party of the ranch there it can take care of themselves with complete value
absolutes silenced
but the first participle
they certainly can't unanswered sound but but the republicans are the party i
write and all that they do is try to enact policies that are connected to the
ranch picture that
this tax that
this extension the bush tax cuts for every else won't go through until they
got that one you know we don't tend to chris wallace video unfortunately but he
also said that women you could get tax cuts for everybody but the two percent
how does it not look like in the party that virtually fight for those last two
percent yes
chris wallace being uh... characteristically reasonable right
