I appeared on CNN for a debate about taxes and the Tea Party protests. Oddly, conservative Ben Ferguson seems shocked to hear about Gallup polls showing most Americans believe the wealthy pay too little in taxes. For that poll info, see here:

  • A republican mind constantly brings up two things: Religion and Taxes. (Not always in that order though), They've been using the same talking points since Ronald Reagan was elected.

  • How come nobody cares that we spent unknown trillions in Iraq and didn't get shit for it?

  • Obama put us 1.35 trillion in debt, where will that come from? Taxes in the future PLUS interest dumbasses.

  • with teaparty republicans its not tax it racism

  • Graet

  • Ben Ferguson is an idiot. He always gets shown up by Democrats.

  • You should be against random capitalization.

  • So you didn't care about your children and grandchildren paying for the Iraq war? Remember the trillions we spent over there?

  • Well professor, if I'm reading your headline right you are promoting illiteracy, and doing a damn good job of it.

  • I'm just wondering where these folks were, the tea partyers, the last 7 years? I went to a local tea party, and in my conversations with folks, I just got talking points from the past, many not based on fact, because facts are unimportant. It was also an Obama bashing, whining because they lost, and filled with subliminal racist overtones. We also had the folks who quoted from the intellectual political minds of Beck, Rushbo, Hannity and the FoxNews folks. It was actually kind of sad to attend.

  • Is that really the best you can come up with?

    Epic fail buddy.
