I wrote down what speaker ryan said, where he said every middle class taxpayer is going to be a winner. that is not the case with their current plan right now. there are millions of middle class taxpayers that will see taxes increase in order to provide tax breaks for multinational corporations. >> dana: i was quoting senator -- representative mccarthy earlier. he said that. thats what i was asking the speaker to talk about. i know that will be in some contention. if i could ask you about this, ...
