Sen. Coburn On Budget Negotiations: "Send Me Some Senators With Gonads"
Hugh Hewitt: Okay, let’s get to brass tacks. I have told you before that I would much rather see a sales tax than anything else in order to get everyone into this game. Is a sales tax on the table in the Gang of Six negotiations.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.): No, I’m the co-sponsor of the Fair Tax. I’ve been a co-sponsor every year I’ve been in the Senate. It’s not on the table. Tax reform is on the table. And what we can do is we can reform and lower the rates, and then we can buy back, like you’re interested in home mortgages, we can buy them back up.
HH: Now I will never go…we have had that conversation as well, but I’m asking, if you want to expand the tax base, and you want to get everyone into the game, get everyone into the game.
TC: Look, send me some Senators who have some gonads.
