Republican Rep. Ted Budd said, 'You gotta be careful how you talk about' NRSC Chair Rick Scott's plan for a GOP majority.

Rep. Ted Budd of North Carolina, the Republican nominee for his state's open Senate seat, has endorsed the idea of a tax hike for most Americans, agreeing that everyone, no matter their income level, should have "skin in the game" by paying federal taxes.

Budd also said that his party needs to be cautious about how it talks about National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Rick Scott's unpopular "Rescue America" plan, which contained the provision that would have resulted in such a hike.

Budd was asked at a May 12 campaign event in Pittsboro, North Carolina, whether he supported the provision in the plan that read, "All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax."
