but it s just sad. it s sad that this is a chance to really put people back to work. this is paid for, again, by something the public wants. that is a 5% plus surtax on people making $1 million a year or more. i was talking to a professional football player today who told me that i don t have an objection for every dollar i make over $1 million, i pay an extra nickel in taxes. i can afford that. i ve been lucky. i get to play pro football, and i get to make this kind of money. it s amazeding. that s the way most people think about it, including a lot of wealthy people. the people are angry. i was down yesterday at occupation wall street, saturday i was able to lead the big national jobs march. people are angry, and on top of the injury the insults, let me show you what karl rove, leading republican strategist, to say about the occupy wall street movement. what are these people for? i mean, to the degree that they re for anything, it s left wing nuttiness, but more than that i
to move towards let s get some consensus. it looks like with today s announcement that chris christie is endorsing mitt romney, that the consensus is building around romney who does have a 59-point economic plan and does talk about jobs relentlessly wherever he goes. in fairness he talks about jobs. he doesn t produce one in the 59-point plan but he talks about it. you can t create jobs without a great economy. yeah. we ll get back to that. alex, herman cane, there s been a lot of talk. people have been directing a lot of traffic on herman cane my way because he keeps bringing up race, he brings it up. right. and i m glad to see him in the race. i m proud of him as a fellow african-american, but his extreme views are what bothers me. let me show you something herman cane says. it s not anything but his views that i question. there s this ray tempt to
loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing while the bus driver was paying 10% of his salary, and that s crazy. do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less? jared, every time i hear him say, it i get a chris matthews attacks, something wiggles up my leg. to hear ronald reagan say that, what is wrong with these guys? you know, i ve written this numerous times. ronald reagan would be kicked out of today s republican party, and it it makes absolutely everything is just topsy turvy right now, and the reason these guys are so tied to this bush road map that got us into this mess is maybe appeals to the tea party, but once you get to the election, you know, i think richard is right. you can bash the president all you want, but it s much harder for president obama to run against nobody or this broad aggregate of whomevers, but one person up there and the president is going to
to defend george w. bush it s not going to happen. he s one of the reasons i got involved in politics. i didn t like the way he was taking the party. but you go back and look at 2005. and you raise a really good point but what you forget what the overall debt was of this nation in 2005, $5 trillion or $6 trillion. we re looking at $14 trillion. world literally has changed. there s studies coming out that maybe say fiscal stimulus doesn t have as much impact as it might if you re in a low debt situation as it does during a high debt situation so there s a lot of good reasons to be for something six or seven years ago and against something today. we ve also got the benefit of hindsight. been through a huge stimulus just two years ago and it didn t work. we spent $850 billion. reverend, that s enough to but we saw that stimulus when it was going on, congressman, we saw unemployment begin to go down. jobs going up, and we ve looked at your plan, the republican plan, and we are seeing e
gradually ease sharia law and the muslim faith into our government. don t blame wall street. don t blame the big banks. if you don t have a job and you re not rich, blame yourself. if you need a license to get a picture to get on ann an airplane, why shent you need one in order it be able to vote? ever heard of the great wall of china? that sucker is real high. i think we can build one if we want to i mean, supports voter i.d., sharia law, he says we re getting into i mean, i mean, you re talking about to the right of the right. yeah. i mean, come on. sure. this is a guy now that s number two in the polls in the republican primaries? well, reverend, this is something i like to call the froot loops phenomenon which is basically republican voters are walking down the aisle and on the one hand they have the wheaties, candidates like mitt
