presidency in his hands. divide, divide, divide i don t mean divide the country but divide these cry-baby millionaires from the rest of the krun country and make us understand what they re really about. david part of the platform of the president moving forward with this new economic initiative is reform to tax code and get the corporations to pay more at a different rate. would the country be better off if we were to lower the corporate tax rate and take away the writeoffs? would thereby a gain and more money coming from the treasury? it would be better off if we did it for manufacturers who have to deal in the physical world, yes. this plan the president has is a very clever trap in it for the republicans. the president s plan would give everyone with a job a tax cut next year, every employer in
this going to be for the obama supporters to say that 98% of the american people aren t going to be affected by this? it was on the local news tonight here in minneapolis. it s the millionaire s tax. everybody s talking about it. the president s obviously got the country talking about it. is this going to be a heavy lift, a hard sell, what do you think? i think it s going to be something he has to talk about. i think if you say it enough, people start hearing it. when you say it one time, it goes over their head. he s smart enough to understand right now, this is the issue, ed. this is the issue. they want to call it class war. it s class genocide is what it is. it s class genocide and the millionaires and the billionaires around corporate america have won this war. he has to remind america, this isn t class war. it s class genocide. the only way to correct it, the only way to correct it is to help america dig its way out from underneath this war rubble that the republicans have left
totally behind this president? because if he s going to get reelected, i don t know how he could do it with anybody in your caucus that is not totally behind him. what do you make of that? well, the congressional black caucus really does support the president. and we want him to work with us to do things that will get him the votes that he deserves to have. we believe that paying attention to the jobs crisis, doing the job fairs we did all over the country and helping people to connect with opportunities and keeping this on the agenda and then helping to try and target the resources toward the worst places in this country will help him, not hurt him. we support him. we want to see him reelected. and we want to make sure that his base constituency understands that he s on board on all of these issues. you know, one of the things that i think we have to do is this many of the republicans represent poor people and struggling people in the rural areas and areas where they don t get any
i don t refer to this maneuver going on today as chicken crap. taking money away from politicians to spend is like taking cocaine away from cocaine addicts. he s into this drug thing, isn t he? so this isn t the first time he s compared the government to cocaine addicts. mr. boehner, it s time you stopped joking around with your cheap laugh lines and get serious about creating jobs in this country, comparing tax increases to giving cocaine to an addict is irresponsible psychotalk. another week, another scratch in rick perry s armor. this time, he s leaving taxpayers on the hook for his wife s trips to europe? and president obama has a plan to fix the nation s crumpling infrastructure and create jobs. at the same time, republicans are already against it. so the president is taking the fight to their turf. that story next. ce companies
cincinnati s kind of a conservative town. it s ridden with conservative talk and that way of thinking. what are the folks in that part of the country saying about boehner and mcconnell? they re standing in the way of this. why aren t they standing with the president if the need is as great as you say it is, and i believe it is? the need is every bit as great as i say it is. the reason they re standing in the president s way is beyond me. not only are we talking about commerce. we re talking about jobs. we re talking about people being able to feed their families. we re talking about good-paying jobs, not only for cincinnatians, all over this area, all over this country people are going to want to be coming to work here. we need this job. mr. young, good to have you with us tonight. i hope you get it. coming up, the great danger that america faces. and, no, it s not nancy grayson in a dance costume.
