i'm kro i'm andrew cuomo. welcome to primeti"primetime". my friends, webber on the eve of martin luther king weekend, a man who coached us to judge people on the content of their character, not the color of their skin or the place they come from. president trump breathed new life into those words with his wanting of less brown people and more people from norway. we talk to cory lewandowski to see if he can adjust the president's words and deeds. let's start with facts first. this may be the image of the week. who do we see? hud secretary ben carson. for all thinks controversies, pulled himself from poverty, became a neurosurgeon, represents so much of what dr. king fought for and dreamed. behind him, a president who makes us wonder how really feels about people who look like and then you have vice president mike pence, characteristically silent. but pence isn't alone. you hear that? that is the silence of the gop leadership, mcconnell, ryan, so many others seemingly content to swallow whatever trump feeds if country, as long as they can get

so andrew cuomo says we'll rely less on income tax rates, and we'll substitute it by imposing a new,es would pay in the state. employers would pay in the states to compensate for it. does this make sense to you? >> well, they -- states are certainly allowed to create a payroll tax, but unless they fully eliminate the state personal income tax, they would essentially have employers paying your income tax. which the irs would see as income to you. if a third party pays your income taxes, that's really income on your behalf. and so it would actually increase the tax burden on working new yorkers. so that probably wouldn't fly, and i doubt that most employers would want to pay higher payroll taxes on behalf of their employees. there are a lot of mechanical problems with this too, and trying to create -- how do you create a progressive payroll tax? that's very, very challenging. paul: well, and if you're an employer and the payroll tax goes up on any individual employee, you're either going to have to absorb that higher cost, or you're going to have to reduce the compensation to the emplo
