It would be better named the unfair tax. >> and going to the spending side of things, where kevin mccarthy is saying that he wants spending cuts,, he actually wants to for spending cuts as part of the debt ceiling agreement that the president and chuck schumer say they absolutely will not participate in. but when he says that we absolutely will not touch medicare and social security, lets just for the moment, for hypothetical, except that. what is left in what he would have to do to the budget i...

>> tell me how you look at it. >> yes, so first of all, remember, lets not lose sight of what were talking about here. the trump tax cuts added almost $2 trillion to the deficit, trump republicans then went on to add another $2-plus trillion on the spending side, all while republicans, including kevin mccarthy, voted for three increases in the debt ceiling. all right? so i think it is a great question as to why now is different than then. as was mentioned, the debt ceiling has been raised 78 tim...

In the last few days is different than what ive seen in three years. more unified than ever and we have the same priorities and strive to be the no drama option, the no drama solution for the nation. as an appropriateor my focus is on making sure we get back to regular order and stop the bleeding on the spending side. stop the bleeding and aggravating our nations debt. get lower taxes, less spending. return the dollars back to the american taxpayers rather than bureaucrats in washington, d.c. th...

£70 billion to fill that so—called black hole in five years time and much of that depends on how the economy first but it is a large sum. 0n the taxes side we could see various tax rates rise on things we earned or spent on but we could see changes in what is called stealth taxes. that is when for example the band at which you stop paying a higher rate of income tax doesnt rise even though your income is rising, so it may sound like a positive but actually it means you are liable for more tax...

Bill? >> better than the last two years with all the spending and so forth. so i think its progress. just joe biden really cant get more progressive, at least on the spending side. there is a check there. i think thats an achievement but, of course, not the same as actually putting good policies in. were blocking bad policies but we dont yet have enough people to force good policies. >> bill: dana and i are big fans of your editorial page because you seem to go after issues that sort of intersec...

Spring? the tax system now looks a little bit different to what rishi i little bit different to what rishi sunak left out. we have cut stamp duty, got rid of the health and social care levy, so the tax burden is not going to be quite as high as what we thought back in march, but it will still be very high and around its highest level since the 19505. around its highest level since the 1950s. you have to look at why was rishi sunak and borisjohnson pushing up the tax burden? it was clearly predic...

Policy—making. and in that sense it has been forced to overcompensate, if you like. it now has to be more orthodox than it might otherwise have been able to get away with. and thatis have been able to get away with. and that is because it took that a very early and deeply unwise decision to go ahead with the mini budget without any of the sort of buttressing institutions around that. we didnt get a forecast from the obr. it announced one side of the obr. it announced one side of the equation, ...

Is rubbish, which i know youre not doing. if you look back at my record, ive always been a kind of low tax tory. i do believe that strongly that giving people autonomy in their life also means autonomy over their finances to make choices for themselves and for their families. and you know that in a way, if im also a capitalist, i want people to participate in capitalism. and that means we need to leave them with money so that they can invest in and build asset bases for themselves. so it shouldn...
