A: I absolutely would look at undoing the tax cuts that benefited the super wealthy and benefited corporations.
Q: Would you raise the top marginal tax rate?
A: I support raising it. We would have to negotiate on where that goes. They did a poll: 45% of Republicans said that they believe the idea of that kind of top marginal tax rate was a good idea. So, I believe that we should increase it. Now, where it goes to, I think that would be a subject of negotiation.
