i think that we should be in billionaires
jefferson famously wrote that
when wealth accumulation of my work and challenger free state
that democracy itself is a risk that it's not his words verbatim but it's the
essence of what he said
and he was right
we have rapidly become any
we talk chrissy
well that's a rapidly and it's taken thirty years
but a reagan kicked off the plea talker c
bigtime
it was organized it was really planned back in seventy three he was by lewis
powell who wrote this memo for is
body in extra neeru is the head of the u_s_ chamber of commerce here so we do
it
which led to the
to the uh...
trolls coco nation under mister kaelin stitches
and freedom works with funded by the coaxing
the heritage foundation which was in part thought about the cooks
amalya a hundred front groups out there american legislative exchange council in
part for the buckets
so we now have government by billionaires
so the good thing
i don't think so
other countries have something called a wealth tax
the where well thanks works is
at the end of the year
if your wealth is over a certain amount
and we're talkin' hundreds of millions are billions of dollars
so
you know you and i and the the their ninety-nine point nine nine
per cent of americans would never even have to fill for
or if you did it simply save less than in a minute my net worth is less than a
hundred million dollars
her less than a billion dollars worth it
but if you're well if your wealth is what you all and i'm not joining come
here
ats income tax it's all different thing
but if you're wealthy is over
or that value than every year you pay a tax on
and believe in the u_k_ it's one percent
and it's over a couple hundred million dollars
i don't have the numbers in front of me but there you know there's a whole bunch
of different countries most of the european countries actually have wealth
texas
and the purpose of this is over time to keep these fortunes from growing to the
point
where you've got billionaires who could literally drop of money bomb on an
election and by politician
because as i was talking about the previous are the reason that you've got
you know mitch mitch maternal here this morning did just i'm just a few minutes

unidad gotshall's word for word what he said he said that you know there's as
this area rates fall he would not give us a billy could gain bipartisan
brummell

republicans on the run
basket a comeback in a session by the way december thirtieth
and stay sunday and stay in the session until tuesday january second
this is the old congress
with the crazy tea party ears so members of it
designing the start of the affair a number of them but a number of them got
booted out
by the voters
and of course they're going to they're going to do that
as i've been telling you four months
they wait until january first
the legislation will be prepared december thirty other thirty first so
that everybody how deadpool the last day december so that the financial markets
will know that they're gonna do it so there won't be any big crash anymore

okay
or a cut taxes on everybody except the film a black and you know bahbah wanted
anybody making over two hundred fifty thousand bucks in by the way people
making over two everyday does knowledge on the first to order fifty thousand
dollars with income they're giving huge tax cut
