RNC Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday bashed Democrats for pushing the Buffett Rule and denied that Republicans are on the wrong side of the politics.
“I don’t think so,” he said on CNN’s State of the Union. “It’s all about dividing and conquering.”
“This is a shiny object that Barack Obama wants the country to look at,” Priebus argued. “If you added up every dollar of revenue that this little rule would put into place, if you took every dollar over a year, it would add up to paying for 11 hours of the federal government.”
Polls say the public strongly supports the rule, which would ensure that millionaires and billionaires pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes.
