I mean, it was a pretty conventional list of tax cuts."

We've had that discussion before, his tax cut boiled down to $13 a week. Aside from that, telling people, "I already gave everyone an extra $13 dollars a week!" is not a yes or no answer to "Will you give across the board tax cuts?". It's not, so nothing I said was false or misleading uBeR. He did not answer the question. Now, what is also true is that he's raising taxes on Americans.

That's exactly why he asked it again.

I may not agree to a tax cut for Warren Buffet. You may be calling for an across-the-board tax cut for the banking industry right now. I may not agree to that.

What exactly do you see the difference in my inpretation of what he said and his words there uBeR? He's saying that people like Warren Buffet shouldn't keep their money, right? That they should give money they and their families worked to earn, be forced to give it to him to be redistributed in a manner he sees fit.
