Harry Reid: Everyone's Willing to Pay More in Taxes Except Congressional Republicans
He knows what you want
Harry Reid knows what you want.
Senate majority leader Harry Reid says that "Everybody" is "willing to pay more" taxes. He said so in an interview with a Nevada Public Radio host.
"The only people who feel there shouldn't be more coming in to the federal government from the rich people are the Republicans in the Congress," Reid told the radio host, according to Roll Call. "Everybody else, including the rich people, are willing to pay more. They want to pay more."
People who want to pay more already can, unless they need to be told to do so? Harry Reid insists taxation is a voluntary thing anyway. Failure to do so torpedoed his predecessor Tom Daschle's nomination for Health and Human Services secretary, and the career of quite a few, but not all, politicians.
