they re not getting it. they get tax cuts every day so we feel it s hypocrite ical hypocritical. they get the tax breaks and we are the ones that get shared. the government talks about shared sacrifice. how do you share sacrifice if you give tax breaks to corporations torks the millionaires but layoff police, fire, and teachers? that s not fair. that s not shared sacrifice. everybody needs to get some skin in the game if we re going to do this together. and you think the top 2% got off top free? absolutely. and they are the ones that created this thing in the first place. could you take some cuts if it was a shared sacrifice? if everybody has got skin in the game we ll get in the game. absolutely. you start at your millionaire friends, make them pay some more taxes and we ll make some sacrifices as well. you know, they re unselfish. all of those people. and i must have interviewed 20 of them on friday, i went through the crowd and i asked them, are you willing to take
them, are you willing to take some cuts? do you understand what governor christie is trying to do? yeah. they do. they understand the numbers. they understand the business of the state. and they re willing to take some cuts but they are not willing to sit there and be the only people taking cuts. i m glad we re finally talking about shared sacrifice. now of course the republicans will come back and say wait a minute. they ll give you all kinds of percentages about how over taxed millionaires are right now and they just cannot fork out anymore money because they re the job creators. well, if that s the case where the hell are the jobs? the fact of the matter is that it s the have and have not society. and even those who are struggling and those people that work on fixed incomes, they re the real americans. they re willing to bite the bullet even further. but you think the millionaires are? you think the top 2% is? no. they re strong-arming all these politicians making sure they get the
