Chuck Todd on Trump: The Dirty Little Secret About Tax Hikes on the Rich, ‘They‘re Popular’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TODD: "Here‘s a dirty. Little secret about. Tax hikes. On the rich. They‘re popular okay. It is because. Most Americans. Are not rich right. This is. Why so many. Democratic politicians. Have been very comfortable going out there. Going back to we‘re going to get rid of the bush tax cuts. And it was majority were in favor of it. Right. You know, it is a popular thing. And. You know, look this thing‘s all over the place. This tax bill negotiation. But was it a couple of weeks ago he floated the idea of no taxes at all on anybody in the first 200,000 of income? Well, if you‘re going to do that, you‘re going to have to go find money somewhere else. And in some ways, figuring out how to fulfill the pledge on no taxes on tips, no taxes on Social Security and all that stuff, he probably has to come up with something that is create that income floor and then go up there and go find money somewhere else. So it I actually think if he does it, it is good politics for him as he‘s trying to realign the party. But it‘s I just don‘t think this there‘s not enough of his Republicans in this Congress, even though there are more than there were before, that are going to be, you know, as our friend Brad Todd has said before, Republicans were put on earth to do one thing. Cut taxes. Right. So I keep having that in my ear, too. And there‘s a lot of Republicans who say, Tom Cotton, people like that who are just this is not going to be something they‘re comfortable doing."
