any type of deal for reason catches
you're now starting to see
just slight
cracks
slight cracks in the uh...
republicans caucus in the house
most of the talk about people leaving grover norquist's behind has been height
and inflated
just about everybody cited was already at that position two years ago
the former head of the national public a campaign committee
tom cole
in member of the house republican carcass cord into india to delhi and
expressed support for republicans cutting their losses on taxes
bypassing extension the bush tax cuts on the first two hundred fifty thousand
dollars of income and letting them expire about nabs
this all out of uh... he's an oklahoma republican i guess he gave an interview
with political
he believes that such a vote would not violate grover norquist's anti-tax
pledge
i mean who knows these guys are doing you know it's
to see them
sort of wrap themselves in pretzels but here's the game plan for the republicans
if you allow
if you both for minutely before january one
when all of the bush tax cuts expire
what you can find a goal here release what they're hoping to fanatical is okay
we're gonna lyle taxes on every dollar
made a above two hundred fifty gb uh... thousand dollars to be subject to an
extra three percent income tax
more or less
but what we want to but we will salvage
because people forget this that when we talk about the bush tax cut the cuts
expiring going back to uh... clint rates were also talking about capital gains
taxes raising at least five percent while so talking about the estate tax
going back to court the clinton level here
uh... clean the era levels
and so what the republicans want to do is
make it seem like they're allowing taxes on the every dollar and uh...
made after two hundred fifty grant to go out
but they're gonna keep
those capital-gains cuts
and at the end of the day most rich people get most of their income
from capital gains anyways
and so
efficient to the
amount of revenue being much less coming in
it's a much less of a bite
said uh... that's why you should not react with like oh my god these the
republicans have seen the light
be realized they look like ah...
big juice bags for uh... protecting the tax cuts for the rich
there's still projecting a tax cut to the rich
they're just yellow making it they're dressing they're they're dressing the
windows a little bit more
