for instance a tax economist lawrence sullivan found that three of the top five in the repatriation reduced u.s. employment in 2005 and in 2006. i won't name the companies, but we've got it all laid out here. i would just say to do that clearly fundamental tax reform needs to include how we are dealing with worldwide in come. the ronald reagan administration i served on a commission on the taxing international corporate earnings. it was one of the most interesting negotiations i was ever a part of. it made this negotiation on the debt ceiling look relatively easy. let me just say the argument that had been made by some in the repatriation that is going to create jobs here, we did it. it didn't produce jobs here. that is the overwhelming evidence. that doesn't mean we shouldn't do the fundamental tax reform because if we are going to be competitive we have to get in the game and our tax code was designed at a time when we did not have to worry about the competitive position in the united states. we were fully dominant when this tax code was developed. i don't think anybody if they were going

sullivan. and he said, ann, are you aware you just cited all liberals that liberals consider conservatives? [laughter] so a lot of them seem to have begun to make the transition. okay, lawrence o'donnell. juan williams. smart liberals. bill maher. he's funny. he'd be smarter if he read, bill. >> host: what's your professional relationship with bill maher? >> guest: well, he introduces me as his first wife and, apparently, a lot of people believe that.
