increasing criminal prosecution of taxpayers. secretary larry summers in his letter to us of the general apathy editorial on this subject, in that letter, he twice uses the word impatient to describe what s going on. tax evasion, those are his words. evasion is illegally using the tax code often a crime to evade taxes prosecutable, people have found to prison for as opposed to tax avoidance as we ve been discussing here in the segment but what they are really talking about is evasion and using auditors to criminally prosecute businesses as alisha was describing, i don t think the republicans want to attach themselves to the idea, a class warfare issue going on if the democrats want to own the idea
an unspecified number of years, that s a lot of money but what are they going to do with all that cash? the idea is that they would upgrade their systems and higher tens of thousands more auditors to go after taxpayers and small businesses. the problem is if you want to get to that $100 billion you re going to have to go after the tens of thousands of dollars, law-abiding citizens who aren t dodging taxes. paul: when you say small businesses llc, limited liability company, these are basically companies dodging taxes and they have made it a priority to go after small businesses. paul: well, tax fraud is illegal, right? is the assumption that these people are breaking the law or
true, is that what s going on here? no, i think that s a false statement on his part. let s set aside the ten or 11 things listed in the nea resolution presumably will be talk to kids in primary grades. she s talking about critical race theory, critical race theory is in opposition to martin luther kueng station of an integrated american society. it argues american society where hopelessly divided between black and white america so this is an alternative view of history and the idea that it simply sweeps away the last 50 years of martin luther kueng decision and displaces it with this is a false narrative on her part and she should not be the least bit shocked that parents across the country and school systems are opposing something contradictory
the economy. so yes. if we turn this into a class warfare issue we re not going to solve that diversity between taking seven schedules down to three, and making taxes lower for individual americans that work every day, like we all do. look, if we turn this into class warfare, guess what, they will be negotiating, nonnegotiables and nothing will get done. the american people will be angry. congressman, i hear you, sorry to interrupt, as we watch air force one land here, quickly before we go, though, congressman, yes or no, should the wealthy pay more in taxes like the president is saying this morning or no? i refuse to make it a class warfare issue and i won t support any policy that makes this a class warfare issue. i m not doing that. i m asking it you agree with what the president said. i can speak for myself. i don t support a class warfare issue. thank you for your time. let me get straight to john berman as we look at air force one landing here. john? poppy, than
economy that the president has to to take credit more, and diss rollout of the health care law, people losing their insurance, losing their doctors, having to pay more in premiums. how are they going to change the conversation? well, they go back to income inequality which creates the sort of class warfare issue that we saw in 2012 between the 1% and everybody else. and we ve already seen that in the senate and the in the house and congress right now where democrats are pushing the idea of increasing the minimum wage and restarting the federal unemployment benefits and more stimulus. these are arguments we ve order in the past, but they trot them out now in an election year to try to get everybody talking about this as the reason why people are not doing better in this economy, and it takes everybody off the conversation of the health care law. so it s sort of a win/win for democrats. and if you look at polls, it resonates with voters. voters support a minimum wage increase or at least
