Loophole that you will close. well, i can tell you that people at the high end, high-income tax payers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions. those numbers are going to come down. otherwise they d get a tax break, and i want to make sure people understand, despite what the democrats said at their convention, i am not reducing taxes on high-income taxpayers. i m bringing down the rate of taxation but also bringing down deductions and exemptions at the high end so the revenues stay the same. the taxes people pay stay the same. middle-income people will get a break, but at the high end, the tax coming in stays the same. don t voters have a right to know which loopholes you re going to go after? so mitt romney and i, based on our experience, think the best way to do this is to show the framework, show the outlines of these plans, and then to work with congress to do this. that s how you get things done. the other thing, george isn t that the secret plan? no, no. no ....
Have they said anything? no. i tell you what. republicans that want mitt romney to win who desperately want barack obama out of the race, they d better hope that people like karl rove and others that have influence on this campaign start going to the candidate and getting in his face and saying, we re investing a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of money in you, buddy. and you d better get your stuff together. and next time you go on a national sunday show, you d better have some answers. you re not going to be able to coast into victory. you will coast into a 52%-48% loss. and paul ryan s becoming a problem as opposed to right now a solution. he s voted against everything he s fighting for now. 23 years old, he s never done this. listen, that s what you ve got to do. i don t want to see paul ryan go out and, you know go rogue. go rogue. that s not his job. he should be allowed to speak his mind. and instead, he s being told not to say certain things. ....
In presidential politics, you can t beat something with nothing. you have to present a compelling vision. and if you don t, americans aren t going to trust you at the office. and this was a moment. this is after labor day. people are back now. they re tuning into the race. you had the candidate on meet the press, paul ryan on with george stephanopoulos. to give specifics and they wouldn t. paul ryan who is incredibly smart and a good guy, that answer is insufficient. for people who want information for an undecided voter who wants to know these candidates and know what will happen if they re put into office, that answer just doesn t cut it. david gregory even started offering loopholes to mitt romney. would you take away the mortgage interest deduction? i m not going to get into that. why not? when are you going to get into it? he s running for president of the united states, for god s sake. what are you going to do? david gregory, they just went round and round and round. and ....
Margaret thatcher had more of a chance of becoming conservative leader in great britain in 1975 and eventually becoming prime minister than i would have moving to berkeley and being named the president of the free speech society. i m dead serious. you went to britain in 79, 80, 81. you were over there then. nobody expected margaret thatcher to be elected prime minister in 1979. and the only way she did it was by being brash, bold, radical and getting in people s faces and saying, this empire is collapsing. and the only way we change course and save it is by undertaking a radical course change. and she did it. if she had been tepid like mitt romney is, she would have been crushed by labor. and nobody had any doubt what she stood for. no doubt. what her policies were, what her whole personality was going to be, what she was going to do if and when which she did become ....
Let me say that less awkwardly, as strong as some of the foundations of the economy are right now, that he predicts chronic high unemployment if president obama gets a second term, there is certainly some of that belief in the business community, but it does belie some of the economic indicators that we re seeing right now, more fundamental strength. despite a fair amount of uncertainty. and on your other point about the military, i think it is striking, yet again. i mean, if you re promising a better economy, why not simply say, hey, we deserve a better economy for our troops to return home to? i mean, isn t that consistent with what governor romney is talking about? it s all tied up in what you were discussing before, which is how difficult it is to walk the minefield of the bush presidency on national security. another area i thought was striking from the interview had to do with iran. there s really no difference between governor romney and president obama on iran, despite some of ....
