Be right back now the campaign insiders -- -- packet on John would put the eight all are Republicans -- making a mistake in opposing the Buffett rule.

-- Obama's gonna use this is a blunt political weapon morning.

In the short term they are making a mistake but there's a larger problem.

Which is they don't have but overall plan to reform the tax system.

To promote economic growth and reform entitlements the Ryan plan as we've discussed before is a non starter Mitt Romney has no plan of his own.

So the Buffett rule becomes the definition in the campaign and -- sort of pop acts but it is disingenuous and this is the issue and I don't understand why Republicans over the which -- Corruption of course they want money from but.

Look the 15%.

You got to 15% to 15% -- Capital gains but you have paid what managers making 3400 billion dollars have a special exemption.

But allows them to pay ordinary and it's an ordinary income that can tell you know how that -- Chuck Schumer and Max Baucus.

-- in 2009 sold it to them they -- her money for Democrats.

You don't this is about corruption you could go what you could at least support back at both sides has -- -- -- the Republican as a sure thing.

Here's how you congressman I mean all the American public skating here is the GOP is defending the rich in the super ripped that's all the gonna -- right.

Well that's why Obama's salivating over.

Having Mitt Romney -- opponent -- -- he's got bank accounts should -- Republicans say you know what we have to change this.

We're gonna get rid us a little loopholes and exemptions that's worth trying to say absolutely have to wonder about eleven years -- at the Republican.

I've seen my party take a position.

With this Grover Norquist thing where no one can talk about raising a tax which this -- even if you take away and the loopholes and they're raising any tax rate that's when -- -- 2.0 and ultimately consigned them to -- political.

Position of inferiority.

To which means they can't talked about.

Real solutions to real problem exactly because they have to defend the indefensible which it.

They don't have to depend -- -- great impact you can say.

People get the rig the rules shouldn't be allowed to rig the rules.

And Obama helps them so that's an issue all of -- sudden but -- -- your of your formulation of mr.

Norquist.

Nothing that does anything all the taxes fizzle out and this is accurate at a 100% -- -- People want to -- want.

You just deflate the entire Obama tax argument right until it was really good to -- the right where the damage is happening as among independents that's that what they're targeting independents believe.

The Republican position as a crazy position there should be taxes higher on the -- rich.

Well and we've done taxes alone at least they shouldn't be able to rig the system did in world -- and what those voters can't.

You know that's the point you could be for some reform not for -- time.

Gentlemen we got in more than I thought we would be given no what was happening in Colombia and thank you very much Doug -- back at bill on the woodgate.
