>> WE HAVE A THINK TANK NAMED URBAN BROOKINGS TAX POLICYCENTERS, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NOMINALLY LIBERALS. I HAVEINTERESTING NEWS, THIS IS THE STUFF THEY NEVER TELL YOUANYWHERE ELSE, THESE THINK TANKS ARE FUNDED LARGELY BYMILLIONAIRES. SO -- A THINK TANK THAT IS A BUNCH OF SO-CALLEDEXPERTS SITTING IN WASHINGTON COMING UP WITH REPORTS ANDPOLICY PAPERS. DO YOU GIVE MONEY FOR THAT? ALMOST NEVER. WHOGIVES MONEY FOR THAT, WHO PAYS THEIR SALARIES? PEOPLE WITH AVESTED INTEREST IN THE REPORTS THAT COME OUT.
THAT ISOVERWHELMINGLY TRUE FOR CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS, THEYARE FUNDED BY MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES AND ALL OF THEREPORTS SAY SHOCKINGLY THAT WE SHOULD GIVE TAX CUTS TOMILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. A LOT OF YOU THINK THE LIBERALGROUPS ARE BETTER. SOMETIMES ON SOME ISSUES. THE LIBERAL GROUPSARE NOT AS BIGOTED AS THE CONSERVATIVE GROUPS, BUT A LOTOF THE PEOPLE ON THEIR BOARDS AND A LOT OF THEIR DONORS AREALSO MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. THEY ARE GENERALLYBETTER GUYS THAN THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A VESTEDINTEREST EVEN IF THEY DON'T REALIZE. WHY DO I TELL YOU THISIN THE CONTEXT OF THE URBAN BROOKINGS TAX POLICY CENTER?BECAUSE THEY PUT OUT THIS REPORT IN MARCH WHEN IT WAS VERYRELEVANT TO THE PRIMARIES BETWEEN BERNIE SANDERS ANDHILLARY CLINTON. LET'S GO TO THE HILL, THE REPORTS THAT THE TAXPOLICY CENTER -->>WOW. IF YOU JUST SAW THAT, YOU WOULD BE LIKE, HE WILL RAISETAXES BY $15 TRILLION? THAT SOUNDS DANGEROUS. WELL, ESTEEMEDTHINK TANK, NICE JOB. HOLD, HOLD. THE HILL SAYS -->>NOW, THAT COULDN'T BE TRUE. I MEAN, THEIR JOB IS TO SIT AROUNDAND THINK ALL DAY, THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED A THINK TANK. YOU DIDN'T THINK, HERE ARE THE DOWNSIDES, UPSIDES?IT DIDN'T EVEN OCCUR TO ME. IT TURNS OUT, NO, THE SANDERSCAMPAIGN WAS RIGHT. THE DIRECTOR FOR THE THINK TANK, LEN BERMAN,THOUGHT THAT THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN HAD A POINT. YOU THINK?YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD A POINT? NOW -->> ISN'T THIS CONVENIENT? IN THE HEAT OF THE PRIMARIES THEY DO AONE-SIDED REPORT THAT GOES, OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THE SOCIALISTBERNIE SANDERS RAISING TAXES BY $13 TRILLION. BENEFITS? I'VENEVER HEARD OF BENEFITS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME. I GUESS EVERY GENIUS AT THIS TAX POLICYCENTER SHOULD BE FIRED FOR NOT CONSIDERING BENEFITS AS WELL,THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL, OBVIOUS THING YOU WOULD INCLUDE IN AREPORT LIKE THIS. NOW THAT THE PRIMARIES ARE ALMOST OVER, THEYGO OH, RIGHT, WE ARE NOT BIASED, WE ARE NOT BIASED TOWARD HILLARYCLINTON, WE ARE NOT PRO THE MILLIONAIRES WHO FUND US ANDHILLARY CLINTON AT THE SAME TIME, WE WILL DO THE FULLANALYSIS NOW THAT IT IS ALMOST IRRELEVANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. TPC FOUND -->>OH, DID WE FORGET TO TELL YOU THAT AFTER THE $9000 IN TAXESYOU WOULD ACTUALLY GET $13,000 IN BENEFITS, SO BERNIE SANDERS'SPROPOSALS WOULD MASSIVELY HELP YOU? OOPS, I GUESS WE FORGOT TOTELL YOU THAT UNTIL IT WAS NEARLY IRRELEVANT. GOLLY GEE,WHAT A MISTAKE WE MADE. "MISTAKE. " LEN BERMAN, THEDIRECTOR OF THE GROUP, SAYS -->>I WONDER IF THAT IS WHY HE WAS SO POPULAR IN THE DEMOCRATICPRIMARY WITHOUT YOU GUYS NOT ONLY HELPING THEM BUT WITH YOUWORKING AGAINST HIM IN THE ESTABLISHMENT. THEY ALSO SAY -->> IN OTHER WORDS, YEAH, OUR FIRST REPORT WAS COMPLETELY ANDUTTERLY MISLEADING, IT MADE YOU THINK YOU WOULD LOSE $9000 BUTIN FACT YOU WOULD GAIN $4300. HA-HA. THAT HATCHET IN BERNIESANDERS'S BACK, PARTLY THANKS TO THE URBAN BROOKINGS TAX POLICYCENTER, FUNDED BY MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. I LIKE HOWLIBERAL AND PROGRESSIVE THEY ARE. THEY ARE THE GUYS WHOATTACKED THE PLAN THEY CALLED THE MOST PROGRESSIVE. GEE, IWONDER WHY NOBODY TRUSTS ANYBODY IN WASHINGTON. I CAN'T QUITETELL. YOUNG TURKS.
