Democrat -- -- -- -- is here got to put -- on you know shouting matches connect me for us forty seconds.
You walked the Bill Clinton.
President Obama has completely abandoned the policies that give us some degree of prosperity in the Clinton years.
And yet you now support President Obama even though he's gone completely the opposite from Bill Clinton.
Go complete disagree with your premise and as I spoke to the president couple weeks though he explained to me why you're incorrect -- Pres Obama has a vision of America certainly did -- -- significant shared prosperity where everybody moves ahead everybody pays their fair share.
Where it's not a matter in Romney's -- -- the top continue to do well -- middle the bottom.
Fall further further behind I think you'll recall the rich did very well under President Bill Clinton in the tax rate.
Under President Bill Clinton on the top income murmured -- -- was substantially higher.
It is today that's what pres Obama wants to go back to that's -- helped create point six million.
-- so present you -- saying President Obama will change cost jumps a little bit he'll go back he'll move back to the Santa.

If President Obama raises taxes on people making more than -- -- 50000 dollars -- yeah that brings in an estimate.
Eighty billion dollars a year.
-- to tell me in economic terms how does that create jobs it is it is part of an entire parcel of economic cuts.
Tax increases in investments in education and destruction that this country needs to get the unemployment rate down into create -- out so they'll actually eighty billion.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- In over a dozen years so actually these policies are working there they haven't worked well -- enough but they are they are working policy -- the American people agree with that but not Whitman --
