| Who initiated that? | |
| Was it Franklin Roosevelt? | |
| The idea that the government will take care of you. | |
| I guess it came in with FDR. It certainly wasn't with Calvin Coolidge. | |
| I don't think Hoover was one of those either. | |
| He had a lot of issues. | |
| It was more, of course. | |
| Well, everybody was more than Coolidge. | |
| The left hates Coolidge. | |
| They have contempt for him. | |
| They say he did nothing. | |
| Which I consider one of the great achievements of a president is to do as little as possible. | |
| I want government to do as little as possible, but not nothing. | |
| Okay? | |
| That's my dream. | |
| That was the founders of this experiment's dream. | |
| The experiment is now failing. | |
| Trillions and trillions of dollars. | |
| It doesn't mean anything to people. | |
| You know why? | |
| It has a very small digit in front of it. | |
| One trillion, two trillion. | |
| It's too bad it's not called a thousand billion. | |
| Right? | |
| I think it would make a bigger impact on people. | |
| Trillion. | |
| Eh, trillion. | |
| Now they want a nearly four trillion dollar infrastructure thing? | |
| Three trillion? | |
| Let me ask you a question. | |
| I'm asking this to my comrade here. | |
| Yes, I've imbibed the left-wing ideology, and I call him comrade. | |
| So, Comrade Living, I have a question. | |
| I prefer Comrade Martyr, but it's okay. | |
| No, though, it doesn't... | |
| Comrade, his first name. | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| Well, let me think. | |
| You might be right. | |
| Was it Comrade Stalin or was it Comrade Joseph? | |
| It was Comrade Stalin. | |
| So, Comrade Martyr. | |
| Yes, you're right. | |
| Comrade Martyr. | |
| It's got a ring to it. | |
| Yeah, kind of does. | |
| So, how... | |
| I'm joking, literally. | |
| How do they expect... | |
| To pay these expenses back, this debt. | |
| Oh, wait, I'm answering my own question, comrade. | |
| They will tax the rich. | |
| If you were to ask Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer, how are you going to pay these trillions of dollars of debt? | |
| They would say, we'll tax the rich, correct? | |
| Corporations. | |
| Of course, you realize that the corporate tax rate was high, and Donald Trump lowered it, and that was a major reason for the spectacular boom in the American economy, because companies were not doing business in the U.S. They went offshore. | |
| Because every country in the world, except, I think, Japan, Every industrialized country had lower tax rates. | |
| Sweden, Denmark, all your wonderful socialist paradises. | |
| They all had much lower tax rates on corporations than the United States did. | |
| So, listen, I can't stand big business. | |
| I would call the heads of most big businesses prostitutes, and I'm not being cute. | |
| I think more highly of prostitutes. | |
| I swear to God, I am telling you the truth. | |
| I am not kidding. | |
| It is not a cute point. | |
| I think more highly of prostitutes than most CEOs and presidents of big companies. | |
| Certainly more than the folks at the tech companies. | |
| More than at Coca-Cola. | |
| More than at Nike. | |
| Who does more damage, prostitutes or Nike? | |
| I mean, there's no comparison. | |
| But so my desire to have low corporate rate is not because I have any regard for corporations. | |
| I have regard for America. | |
| I want their money in the United States. |
