thinking in terms of the bush-era tax cuts in terms of reforming the tax code more broadly. and i know that in your new book you talk about that. but it sounds like you want to go even further, to have it, in fact, raising the top end quite dramatically. up to 55%. >> yes. what we tend to forget when we talk about taxes is that most middle-class, working class people are already taxed enormously. the sales taxes in most states have gone up. the taxes that we call payroll taxes, that deal with social security and unemployment insurance, those payroll taxes, f.i.c.a., have actually gone up. 80% of american workers pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes. so why not, i have suggested, exempt the first $20,000 of income from the payroll tax and make it up by putting the payroll tax on incomes over $250,000. in other words, many long-term issues, jeff, that have to do with fairness of our tax system. and the tax system is hardly fair. we right now, we have a multimillionaires who are able to treat much of their income as capital gains, subjected to now a 15% income

bush's former political adviser, mr. rove, however, added to speculation that o'donnell's primary win could cost the gop that seat in november by adding that in the case of alaska, demint's support of miller's victory over incumbent senator lisa murkowski has led murkowski to launch her write-in campaign which could, in turn, split republican voters, and thereby benefit the democrats. of course, some tea partiers want more than just tax cuts. they want right-wing victories on social issues as well. senator judd gregg telling "the new york times" that launching into social issues, quote, will be overplaying our hand. cue overplaying the hand. congressman joseph pitts telling the newspaper "the hill," gop leaders have assured him abortion will be part of the republican wish list to be released later this month. social conservatives are pushing for anti-gay measures as well and more government endorsement of christian ty. let's bring in msnbc contributor, dave weigel, also political reporter for slate.com. dave, good evenin

bush's administration. joining us this week is michael mundaca, assistant treasury secretary for tax policy. here to question him is kim dixon from reuters and martin vaughn from dow jones. >> michael, i want to start out by asking you about the proposals that the president put forward, the tax proposals to stimulate the economy. one of those was that he wanted to allow businesses to immediately write off 100% of their newly commit purchases in 2011, the aim being to free up cash to invest higher. what we're leading -- what we're hearing is that cash is not the problem. the issue right now is that folks are worried about the economy neck getting better, continuing continuing to stagnate or getting worse. in that light, how much good can you do by simply offering people a tax cuts if they are just worried about the economy not getting better? >> that is a good question. i think we need to put this in context. these are one not -- these are not one-of proposals. -- these are not one-off proposals. proposals.

bush did more about pursuing a democracy agenda? >> freedom agenda, as president bush called it. it's something to be hoped for, but i'm not sure yet that we have seen an example of that. i mean one way you coulded stand up for freedom would be when people are seeking to be free, as in iran, to cite a conspicuous example. they're in the streets calling for it. and he says virtually nothing as the regime moves in on him. he's got some tests to pass before anybody can seriously say that this man has now adopted a freedom of democracy agenda. >> chris: i wondered, in fact, why the president in response to ahmadinejad's comments about the possibility was an inside job at 9/11 didn't say no, we're not the ones who slaughter our own people in the streets. it's your regime, sir, that does. >> there was an opening. he doesn't take it. >> chris: there's an opening. well, they don't take our advice. i want to switch to a last subject in this segment. legendary reporter bob woodward has a new book called "obama's wars" where he quotes the president saying this: "we can absurd a terrorist at

these are george bush's tax cuts. the ones that would most popular in 2001, 2003 when he passed these in the first place. it is true, if republicans didn't want to run on -- against the biggest tax increase in american history, as they call it they would go ahead and do this. i don't know -- i don't know if things like this provide momentum anymore. i'm not sure if george voinovich is gettable on this bill. he has been on the past but he also was a critic of the size of these tax cuts in the first place. he might be gettable but i think he needs to do more working the phones than aggressive talking in front of the cameras, meaning he just needs to talk about it. >> here we are. chris, your -- the political strategy, your interpretations of the political strategy, the witness of the president coming out to talk small business but really coming out with the vice president and the treasury secretary to play let's make a deal with the tax policy relative to the bush policies? >> well, i think the president is drawing a li

no we don't have to talk about bush anymore. we can talk about, this is their blueprint what do you think? u are absolutely right, ed. this is proof-positive that they essentially took the bush economic agenda, made a xerox copy of it except for the front page,ed a nice-looking front page on top and are trying to sell that to the american people as something new. it's not new. it's the same old, same old. and all they're offering is the same old economic agenda that got us into this mess. and i'm really glad they've put this out there, because it gives us something very clear we can point to, to say, you see? they want to go back to the days when the wall street banks, the big guys ran the show. they want to go back to the day when health insurance companies could discriminate against your kids based on pre-existing conditions, like diabetes. they just want to take us back and in the short term, the results of their proposal will lead to the cancellation, the cancellation of about 60,000 corporates. it will terminate thousands o

during bush's eight years, 3.5 million jobs were created. during clinton's years, six times as many, 21 million jobs. in fact, during the clinton years, more jobs were created in those eight years than in the 20 years of ronald reagan and both bushes in the white house. so i think you have a tough time making that argument. what matters is what the taxes are spent on. >> last question. is there law or code somewhere that defines what a small business is? is that -- is there actually a -- just a semantical violation here? or is there something more? >> no, this is essentially semantical. the sba says if you have fewer than 500 employees, you are a small business. many of the companies we've talked about are not small businesses. and remember that small businesses also destroy many jobs. it's a relatively handful of little companies that go on to become big companies. the gazelles, they're known as. like, say, fedex, that went from nowhere to being a big company very quickly. >> david cay johnston, thanks for your time tonight and for your hel

bush did, more about pursuing a democracy agenda. >> freedom agenda, as president bush called it. well, it is something to be hoped for but i'm not sure yet we have seen an example of that, one way to stand up for freedom would be when people are seeking to be free, as in iran, to cite a conspicuous example, there is a straight calling for it and, he says virtually nothing as the regime moves in on him. he's got tests to pass before anybody can seriously say this man is now adopted a freedom of democracy agenda, i wonder in fact why the president in response to mahmoud ahmadinejad anyplace else comments about the possibility with an inside job at 9/11 didn't say, we're note ones who slaughter our own people in the streets, it is your regime, sir, you -- >> there is an opening. >> chris: but they don't take our advice! legendary reporter bob woodward has a new book "obama's wars" in which he quotes the president as saying this: we can absorb a terrorist attack and he says, mr. obama was pressing for an exit strategy at the same time that he was deciding to send 30,000 more u.s. men

with their pledge to america, the republicans contend that extending all the bush tax cuts would put more spending money in people's pockets and help jump start the economy. so what's wrong with that? in an exclusive interview today, i put the question to the man whose signature is on that money, treasury secretary timothy geithner. and here's what he said: >> well, we agree on some things. i think we all want to make sure middle-class americans see their tax-- these tax cuts extended. and those go to 97% of working americans and 97% of small businesses. where we disagree, though, is the republicans want to make permit the tax cuts that go to the wealthiest 2% of americans. to do that would require us to go out and borrow $700 billion, again, to give tax cuts to the most fortunate 2% of americans. and we think that's not a responsible use of taxpayer resources at a time when we face enormous challenges. and we think if republicans want to do more to help the economy now, again, the best thing to do besides extending these middle-class tax cuts is to give stronger incentives to busine

it's not president bush's policy. president bush spent too much money. his worst year was 2008, when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house here. he had a deficit of $450 billion. too much. shouldn't have had $450 million. -- $450 billion. the first year of president obama's $350 trillion, three times the worst year of president bush's year, the amount of debt incurred in that year was three times 2009, what bush's worst was. obama makes bush look like ebenezer scrooge. he's a mere piker when it comes to spending money you don't have and 2010, you say, was -- 2010, was it any bet her it was worse, $2.5 trillion in deficit spending. we aren't listening to henry morgenthau. we should learn from henry morgenthau. we should learn from j.f.k. if you want jobs, you can't destroy the businesses. take a look at these government deficits, that's the number that i'm talking about here. this gives you a little bit of a -- little bit of a sense. you can't run your family that way and over a period of time what we're going to find out is you can't run a country this w

he will go out today and make the case for why we should let the bush -- the bush tax cuts expire. effective? guest: no, it should not be. host: the last caller was a republican. they said why should -- what have the tax cuts done? guest: roughly, republicans seem to be for tax cuts, and democrats seem to be for tax increases. this debate has helped republicans, not hurt them. for president obama to now push for increasing taxes in a sputtering economy, where we are actually decelerating, it is just economically not sought. it is even can see in. even they argue that when they have an economy like this, you did not raise taxes. the argument about class warfare does not work. bill clinton understood that. he modified the message. democrats benefited from it. the larger picture here is that these speeches optics. people are very concerned about the direction. he can talk all he wants. people are not listening. there is a contrast between what obama asserts, and what they see with their own eyes. host: does that argument apply to republicans -- people are not listening? guest: we expe

bush. it's well known that he and i disagreed about the war from its outset. yet, no one can doubt president bush's support for our troops or his love of country and commitment to our security. as i've said, there were patriots who supported this war and patriots who opposed it. and all of us are united in appreciation for our service men and women and our hopes for ei q iraq's future. greatness of our democracy is grounded in our ability to move beyond our differences. and to learn from our experience as we look to the many challenges ahead. no challenge is more essential to our security than our fight against al qaeda. americans across the political spectrum supported the use of force against those who attacked i on 9/11. now, as we approach our tenth year of cam both in afghanistan, there are those who understandably are asking tough questions about our mission there. but we must never lose sight of what's at stake. as we speak, al qaeda continues to plot against us. and its leadership remains anchored in the border regions of afghanistan and pakistan. we w

the bush administration and as governor rendell says, you don't change everything. will the american people want us to change that, to quit in the future, using taxpayer dollars and positions? save their party money? >> that's the question. okay. that's the question. are you going to spend the next several months if you get to be chairman of the reform committee, subpoenaing people like rahm emanuel, asking them about a possible deal involving a job offer. are you going to spend your time doing that? >> as i said, when governor rendell said this is typical, it goes on, a member of the press team said similar things happened under the bush administration. what we discovered is that laws on the books to prevent this ree teenly are not considered to apply. as part of reform, it's not a matter of looking back.

you wrote four books on bush going to war. so i mean, i assume you know bush going to war. so contrast the two men. we just talked about barak obama. let's talk about bush. the rap on bush was that he was a gut player. he made decision on his gut. but i don't know what that means. he had a whole bunch of guys around him like cheney, donald rumsfeld, his father, colin powell. these kinds of people who really knew the world. did he not listen to them? did he listen to them? >> to a certain extent and he weighed it, but he was focused on the threat and he was -- he also was focused in the iraq war, which president bush launched, he told me in one of these interviews, said, i believe we have a duty to free people and i think that was really the driver. thought he was going to liberate iraq. >> bill: so he looked at it as a noble cause to go to a foreign country and liberate these people from saddam hussein. but again, that was after the weapons of mass destruction didn't show up. obama doesn't see a world like that. he doesn't think we have an obligation to liberate anybody, do

bush. now, explain to me how it is members of our military, our men and women fighting in against, give a damn about campaign finance reform in 2000, but now, our gay men and women in the military, lying, their commanders are lying about it, aren't allowed to serve openly and honestly as they need to do. >> our government's dysfunctional and in need of reform. we're making our list. moving along. what does it mean to be a tea partier? part of the gop, against gop. if you are against big current, the current government establishment, that's under standable. a leader recently attempting to articulate that, doing a reasonable job. i want to let them define themselves. >> no one is a tea party candidate and anyone can be a tea party candidate. if they're fighting, those are the things they talk about and are committed to, then they're a tea party candidate. >> that's mark meklehr. >> you can work together. >> you mean, yes, we can. >> yes, we can. right. right. it's a movement. it's not a party
