DEMS/TAXES: “I’d like to see a payroll tax cut. I think it’s great for the workers. The Democrats would never have gone for it. They don’t want it. They’re not big into the workers, I guess…
But I said, ‘I think a payroll tax will be good, but you’re not going to get it from the Democrats.’ We need their votes, as you know…
So I’d like to see it. I think it would be very good for the workers. But if we’re not going to get their votes, I guess we have to go on to the next thing. A payroll tax cut would have been very good.”
