what do i do this traditional for what
what's the point of me coming out here talking about politics day in and day
out
well look by talk about these things because
i believe in the things i'm advocating for
so when i say we need to have a more progressive tax system in taxes need to
the law
on the richest people in the country
i said i think if i absolutely believe me i know that will lead to more just
society
i know the tremendous upside to that
i know that they're virtually no downsides i'd seen the historical
evidence i don't know what the tax rate was in the united states from nineteen
fifty till nineteen seventy when the marginal rate was between seventy and
ninety percent and we had the largest economic expansion in u_s_ history
i know what denmark and norway in iceland in sweden and britain and france
and all these other countries i don't know
the things that they have
that they have done right
that we are lacking in at not to say that we don't have that meet many areas
and we already figured out some way that they don't because we do have a figured
out a lot of ways that they don't
but universal education universal health care
these things are principles and these are real legislative goals and real
policy decisions
that would be greatly affect our society
so when i say all we in it you need to go for this democrat or when i say
supporting the left the politicians on the left makes more sense than
supporting politicians on the right
i mean that only in so far as they are willing to fight for the policies in the
principles that i believe in and that we believe in the policy that makes sense
and will lead to a more just society or more people society a society based more
in common sense and rationality an equality of opportunity so on and so
forth
when you read the articles about so-called progressives or liberals
who are shouting down
the people who are are you doing
from a our position of principle
a position of actual constructive
policy positions
than these people i'm sorry
they have no idea what they're doing in politics
beijing in a moment i don't think i i know it seemed like a horse the mistake
but what's the point
it is going to say hello i'm are eighteen it's like taking a sports team
i want this guy over this guy
worth more than that
that's boring and that's primitive there's no intellectual thought or
reason that goes into that
you are just as guilty on the as the people on the right wing
you are just as in yard
remember when a george w_ bush won the biggest spenders in american history
tremendous gets tremendous deficits
record debts and deficits
gilmore saw a few republicans you can count them on one hand the number of
republicans i think hey wait a second
now i'm a conservative conservative by definition means are not in favor of
running debts and deficits i'm in favor of small government
george w bush has a tremendous government
the number of people that said wait a second i'm against bush because he's
he's not conservative
you can count on one hand
we're not there yet but we are moving towards that position where
all this time your astra sizing your trainer that's just aren't complaining
stockton complaining
because you have principles and that you actually believe
in what he means to be a democrat being a democrat doesn't just mean
cheerleading for the people that had to be in for another name as politicians
there's a lot more that goes into it
and uh...
michael time ascii the moron
has
no idea what that means
no idea what he's talking about
and i can't wait to read the article from michael to mesquite and people like
him in two months
when we have to deal with number one the sequester number two the debt ceiling
and the republicans hold that up and say well while we cannot
you know raymond at silly or
we can make to you but medicare social security
and the social safety net and cut spending for mayor and they will raise
the debt ceiling
what obama buckle on that
and you see michael to masking was the goal posts even further
annalisa knows i want nobody how do you know when you start complaining liberals
are complaining one i had to to to cut
uh... social safety nets
at what point do stopped being a reactionary need your
defender of the person
and start becoming a defender of the principal
i don't know but either way you've lost all my intellectual respect will be
right back
