Rubbish! He was answering a question about raising taxes on people
earning over $250k. He said that it wasn't that he wanted to punish
anyone's sucess (ie. by raising taxes) and then he want on to explain
his trickle-up theory. You simply can't rewrite history and claim that
this was somehow not related to the taxation discussion.


Since the news has been full of the top half percent of the population being
the beneficiaries of Bush tax and fiscal policy, and it added up to no money on
Main Street, change is in order.
