15. The ones who shipping jobs overseas are the ones paying 0% now. That is what he's stopping.

It's in the longer video, the transcript and the bill he's submitting. The one the GOP says they'll block.

JFK lowered the tax rate and cut the loopholes out. This is the same policy. It worked before, it will work again. 35 > 28 > 0.

28% across the board with no exemptions, and no breaks for shipping jobs, is what is going to pay for more infrastructure jobs and education.

He's on top of this about Keystone, he's resisted it all the way, and explained it in this shorter clip.

The GOP has tried to hold hostage every spending bill by tying them to Keystone and personhood bills, defunding PP, SNAP and UAE. And they've just voted for the 40th time to repeal the ACA at a cost of $50M to cut the economic benefits,mostly to the poor of Americans

Obama won't give in the government shut down, and this latest initiative is going to pit the people paying 35% against those who are paying nothing. Obama has said all along that was wrong.

Those who keep jobs here and are willing to pay 35% will be grateful for the 7% and the ones paying nothing are going to make sure this is twisted in the news to benefit their 1% owners.

So I'm onboard with this.
