the brass taxes, don t tax me. the rap, fairly or not, they will try and do that and democrats are ready to just nail them. guest: yes. you are right about those countries, they have been to some extent killed by external spending. people are nudged to try and find income from outside by getting subsidies and working for the i think and in the greek elections the electorate voted in a childish way not accepting responsibility. i am looking to the american people to she they are bigger than that, to live up to the principles on which this republic was founded, and to understand that they have a responsibility to take, to look after themselves. you cannot contract out the defense of your freedom to someone else. neil: when you took on gordon brown and he was trying to ignore you, it was the closest thing to what we have in
i ve said positive things about his candidacy. few. if you listen to him now, there s a seriousness deficit there. okay. if you want to talk about health care come on, man. joe, all i m saying if you re running for so much silly stuff gets said on the campaign. don t get me started with the demagog. the ghost of hughey long rises on the shores of every ohio river where there s a factory being shut down by these democratic candidates. i ve been critical don t tax me. tax the man behind the tree. i ve been on your show critical of the approach of attacking private equity. i only make the point that romney, he needs to be more serious about this. the country knows that today s a momentous day. yeah. if the court strikes it down, where do you go from here? we need to have a more that s what the country wants to hear. we need to have a more serious campaign and it is all mitt romney s fault, says
the other interesting thing is the tax debate is in the zone, do you tax the rich more or not? nobody is talking raising taxes on the rest of americans? we are not going to close the deficit without that. no, we are not. this old saying yeah. don t tax you, don t tax me, tax that guy behind the tree. tax somebody else. it s not that simple. if we are going to balance the budget and pay down the debt through tax increases, we have to get rid of the bush tax cuts for everybody as well as push unpopular entitlements. willie s news you can t use is next. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule.
are like, well, what s at stake? what s in it for me? you went from saying talking about class warfare to the need for sacrifice. whenever the president has said let s raise those tax rates on the upper class because we need to lower the deficit it s not the saying of it the words, it s everything that leads up to that and how he presents it to the country. when you re talking about sacrifice and that s not that sounds like an awful lot like huey long. don t tax me, tax that man behind the tree. joining us now is republican presidential candidate and former governor of massachusetts mitt romney. the winner of last night s new hampshire primary, congratulations. congratulations and, governor romney, what a big night for you. of course, a lot of people are going to be asking what led to this historic performance winning iowa and new hampshire? and we know, of course, because you were on morning joe on the past three days. well, there s that. what a great perfo
republican house of representative does on this payroll tax cut and many other issues. alisyn: what do you think about the class warfare battles and rhetoric about millionaires need to pay more of their fair share, you can t put this on the back of the middle class. the president has been talking about that a lot but it s hard to tell if that s gaining traction with the american people and that s what they care the most about. it s not what they care most about. it is pop lash. there is no question. if you ask people who they want to tax if they believe a tax increase is necessary, they will all tell you the rich, the wealthy, that old slogan, don t tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree. there aren t that s rich fellows behind the tree and just about everyone else is happy to see them taxed. the overall context of an election is about the state of the question. not just the jobs picture.
