about this for years and under the president's plan anyone making more than $1 million a year would paper the same percentage of taxes at the middle class. boy, it does not sit well with republicans. >> when you pick one area of the economy and say we're going to tax those people, because most people are not those people, that's class warfare. >> warren buffett has been honest and others i know who have haven't fortunate in life and wealthy say, for goodness sake, raise my taxes if that's going to help this economy move forward. >> brianna keilar is on the phone in washington with more details of the president's plan. depending on your perspective it's class warfare or sharing the burden. >> reporter: that's right. you're going to hear a lot more of that playing out today after the president unveils his plan in the rose garden at 10:30 a.m. let's look overall as what it is. it would save, according to the white house, $3 trillion over ten years bp twice what this super committee must do according to the deal brokered. half of that savings, a lot of it is $580 billion in spending cuts, half of the savings, $1.5 trillion comes from uncreasing taxes. as you mentioned, carol, republicans are loathe to do. you also have $1.1 trillion in war savings. the estimated savings from winding down the wars in iraq and afghanistan and expect rubben rub republicans to hit on that. and savings from the interest that you wouldn't be paying because you'd be saving money. the white house says that would be $430 billion. you mentioned the president is proposing this millionaires' tax, calling this and referring to it as the buffett rule after warren buffett. the people who make $1 million or more a year should be paying their fair share towards taxes. the people who are lower brackets. the president will say he will veto any entitlement reforms. this is what republicans want. they want some changing to medicare and medicaid and he will say that they will be on board with none of that unless there are some tax increases. >> we're headed for a showdown, then, because a lot of republicans have signed pledges, no new taxes under any circumstance. so how will republicans get around that? >> reporter: that's the really unclear thing right now we're keeping an eye on, because republicans, as you will recall and you were referring to, carol, no tax increases during the debt ceiling. expect them to say no again here, and even democrats i've spoken to on capitol hill don't expect that any sort of tax increases will ultimately be in the package. that congress, brokers, certainly this is going to be playing out. the president certainly is answering his base, who has said that they feel the rich are not paying their fair share. >> brianna keilar, thanks to you. you can hear more of the president at 10:30 a.m. eastern. cnn will carry it live. and what led to an air show disaster in reno, nevada. at least nine people were killed, including a 7 -- the 74-year-old pilot. a nosedive towards the crowd at the grand stand like a missile. the ntsb says it's now recovered parts of the plane's tail that may have brought it down. investigators say there was a camera onboard that may help determine what caused this disaster and are combing through wreckage and dozens of video to try to figure would you it spiral out of control. one of the victims, 20 feet from the crash site is now talking about what he remembers. >> the thing crashes right behind me, and i get -- all i remember was, i was trying to run as i see stuff coming, and then that's the last thing i remember. it just makes you appreciate to be alive, and -- the first thing i can tell su that, i got extremely lucky. >> more of the nine people killed in friday's crash were identified yesterday. reno's mayor says it's the first time in 40 years there was an accident as a air show. and after his vintage plane went down and burst into a fireball, sifting through debris talking to witnesses. no spectators in that incident were hurt. the former imf chief is break his silence in an interview with french television calling his encounter with a new york city hotel maid a moral failing on his part, but insisting there was no violence and no sexual assault. >> translator: you need to read careful lif the report of the prosecutor. what does it say?
