Capitalists and fiscal conservatives have yet to be winning that's my judgment.
Fell less than about law passed in in Wisconsin went through -- collective bargaining.
Then -- as a target store in New York refused to be unionized and now.
Even liberal newspapers -- publishing front page stories on pension outrageous -- municipal level.
I didn't say the establishment media and the left -- organizing that counterattack.
And all -- about taxing the rich that's what I say.
Let's bring in Chris for -- is the president -- -- Club for Growth the ultimate capitalist -- Chris welcome program.
-- spirit beard what do you say might Britain might premise is.
I'm I'm looking closely establishment media -- -- all kinds of stories about how the rich are getting richer than running away with all of goodies from the last generation.
We should tax.
I think there is an organized attack against success in America I think that's what's coming down applied.
And you -- Let's say I think the world has changed.
I served in congress couple terms in during that period time.
Now we ever talked about was how much more we would spend today -- today -- how much less we will span and so the world has changed for the better.
But there's a lot of work yet to do there's no question there's.
An effort for class warfare but I think you know the American people are smarter -- that was a view you agree with me that -- that conservatives -- winning.
That that the tide is -- the argument is tuning in favor of conservatives and and spending a whole lot less.
But you also agree that they counterattack is coming from the left tax the rich I thank -- it paneling is coming I think it's here I think that the class warfare has escalated because I think that the left is seeing that there.
Story isn't working in you know you just said that secretary Geithner.
He said we will get a debt -- I hope he read my my editorial or op Ed in the Wall Street Journal today which.
Outline a way to cap balance and and cut the spending and so you know the great thing about the tea parties is -- people are trying to figure out how to become involved in the government.
They're trying to understand what they can do to have more responsible government hold their elected officials accountable.
I don't think they fall for the class warfare I think they understand that success is what is really served as a foundation for the greatest economy in the greatest country on earth.
And so the elected officials in the left is trying I think the last crash they're trying to tell their story down -- the American people are behind you an optimist to think that we can get back to the free market capitalist oriented market oriented America.
You know democracies acting crisis we're in a crisis and so I choose to think that this is an opportunity for us to do the right thing.
If we cut -- and balances we talked about -- -- -- -- not op -- I think that we can get to a point where we can be responsible again we can -- offer this unsustainable path.
But in the next election's going to be very important that -- people have to have to -- Express their voices opposed to get the people that will do the hard things and I got to get this in because the Club for Growth puts out white papers on all the candidates you've got presidential can presidential candidate and that's what you don't.
We have done on a killer I had -- would you take signs of mobile which candidate thus far has the best plan for getting us back to America the way ability.
Well we don't take sides we try to take an objective view of the -- -- -- records of also give an opinion well Natalie you know I think we encourage people to read the the white papers -- Club for Growth dot org and read does.
But you have to look at the context people like plenty -- and great spending records have pretty -- tax records invariably states and John Huntsman who announced today now is -- a very red state -- straight tax policy not so good on spending.
-- governors I think have the most revealing records of how they would.
-- I'm governed since they've been chief executives legislators have taken positions that you don't really know how the lead because they've never been chief executives.
So -- people their freedom but -- have good and bad.
Every politician does and this is -- outside Europe that you're diplomat essentially because it just go to ground that you -- -- -- -- -- but I don't know if that's okay Christi caller president of the Club for Growth heavily is that correct Mr.
President naroff.
Yes white papers on all the presidential candidates.
Thanks for joining us -- -- much of -- do you think like it's.
