"If...if asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jew...uh...as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honour."
This is our great orator? Does he even know what he just said? Forgetting the glaring Freudian slip for a moment, does anyone here think a billionaire would NOT want to pay the same tax rate as a Jew janitor? Last time I check, billionaires pay a much higher rate than most in the working class.

""If...if asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jew...uh...as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honour.""
He made a slip regarding the tightness of the rich's wallets and the emptiness of the poor's. An old English thing was regarding the tightness of a Scottish man's wallet. Blunt.. I'll give you that.
