to have a huge impact on 2022. that is one year from now and 2024 and beyond. but let s not get ahead of ourselves. what happened in virginia, i want to do a deep dive tonight and around the country, it is only a first step, i cannot forget the radical new green deal socialists, they are still in charge and they have not given up the radical ideology. by the way, tonight, they are desperate. going forward, republicans all over the country, they need to first fight back against the new green deal socialism that will destroy this great republic, but they also have got to focus now on being a party that is responding to the needs of working men and women. remember 2016 about forgotten men and forgotten women of this country and offering solutions and ideas that are in keeping with liberty, freedom capitalism and our constitution. these ideas should be rooted in conservative principles.
and not before. the working men and women, the ones his party seemingly forgot how to talk to. he s a mcdonald s democrat. and what s increasingly is the party of whole foods. he challenged pelosi for speaker a few years back, i don t have to tell you how that went, he remains a vocal member of the house, and what you re about to hear, is more and delivered more passionately, than we have heard from biden, pelosi or schumer, about what s in the biden bills, that would actually help make americans lives better. this infrastructure bill is about two things, it s about putting money in the pockets of the american people, who have had a rough go for the last 40 years, in this is about taking on china. we ve seen in the last couple of weeks, ceo has gone up to 1300%.
this is not j.f.k. s party that is in charge. j.f.k. would never be part of that party. thank goodness we re having these signs come out early. gives me respectfully last week i was scared. i m hopeful now that the people are getting back to some type of rationale thinking, understanding and that we re not all racist, we don t all hate each other and deep and thoughtful people and a very strong social fabric and we want america to be the best and greatest country in the world. we do that together, not by dividing us. i also believe it s important that the republican party identify and be the party of working men and women. liberty and freedom and low taxes and limited government. yeah, even american first policies. lou and order and choice in schools and education. secure borders and energy independence. all of these issues resonate and impact the lives of all of us,
your fair share. pay your fair share. just like middle class folks do. but that isn t happening now. today in this country, right now, the top 10% for example, evaded $160 billion in taxes they owe each year. not new taxes, taxes they owe. if you are a typical american like i suspect most of the press people sitting here, you pay your taxes. why? because you get a w-2 form and it comes in the mail every year. the irs gets that information as well. the taxes are deducted from your paycheck and you pay what is owed beyond that. that s why 99% of working people pay the taxes they owe. but that s not how it works for people with tens of millions of
backbone of this country. i believe that the american people, the working men and women, the middle class are the backbone of this country. sandra: do you worry, jason, that raising corporate taxes and penalizing corporations, do you believe that makes us less competitive and eventually, drives jobs and business out of this country? look, sandra, the business round table wanted a tax rate of 25% for corporations. just a few years ago, that s what they were out there asking for. this legislation would result in a tax rate pretty close to what businesses said themselves they needed a couple years ago. the big picture, the level of tax collection under this plan is not that much higher than we have seen in the past. it is much lower on the middle
