Gina be with as somebody who came to fame thanks to the tea party and making it a big deal and reminding these guys, their word matters, their commitment to stimulate the economy, to tax cuts, watching budgets, et cetera, are you disappointed . Are you getting different vibes from donald trump . Not at all. In fact, i hope that he takes away all the loopholes that this who are the super, super wealthy with teams and teams of tax attorneys can help them hide from. Neil you think thats where hes going . Just to take away, like, carried interest, that sort of thing . I think thats exactly what hes going to do and, in fact, in his statement he said something about his major concern is the middle class who has been left out of this equation over and over again. You simplify the tax code, and you make things easier for everybody. But you also take away the loopholes of the super rich. Neil wel
