The rich don’t
mind high taxes, in fact, they want to pay more, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed during a
radio interview with KNPR radio Thursday.
The host asked
Reid if he would be willing to make concessions on Medicare and Social Security
in a long-term budget deal. Not only did Reid instruct to “stop talking about
that” and “get something else in your brain,” he also had these words of
wisdom:
“…the rich are getting richer and the
poor are getting poorer. The rich know that. The rich are willing to pay more.
They're not the ones out here saying, 'please don't tax me.' The only people
who feel there shouldn't be more coming in to the federal government from rich
people are the Republicans in the Congress. Everybody else, including rich
people, are willing to pay more. They want to pay more. So, yeah, but we're
going to have to have mainstream Republicans step up again.”
