debt created through the wars obviously and the medicare part "d" giveaway to the drug companies and the voting elderly. joining us now miker to the organization directing it to fight for tax policies that benefit all americans. nice to see you, mike. how would you define a fair tax policy for america? >> well, you know, a decade ago -- or in 2001, george bush came into office inherited a $5.1 trillion ten-year deficit -- or surplus, excuse me. and he decided to give a lot of that away in tax cuts to people who didn't need them, didn't ask for them. well, some of them did ask for them, but we didn't. those tax cuts have cost $2.5 trillion. about half of that went to people, like me and the top 5% of wealth earned income. and we don't think that's good policy. we don't think that was the right choice then and we think it's inexcusable that those tax cuts are continuing now. they were set to expire in 2010 and we're trying to make sure through this tax fairness pledge that they do actually exfire 2010. >> there's a huge difference between the tax rate between those who are wealthy and invest money and those who are poor and
