people forget that ronald regan improved increases of taxes of some size i think three times during his administration after the initial big reductions in tax rates. in '86 exemptions and credits were in many instances reduced, in some cases they were ended. the result in revenue increases said it would produce lower marginal income tax rates consistent with a net increase in revenues making a contribution toward reducing the budget deficit. so simplification and revenue enhancing may in concept both be possible in one fell swoop. the complimentary approach simpson bowels is taking with respect to the corporate income tax. now all that seems to me part of a constructive debate. it's perhaps politically possible in time but i don't want to stop there. my plea is for greater boldness. we do need tax reform. we need to think hard about how to rely more on consumption-based taxes, avoid incentives to move business abroad and think about possible integration of corporate personal taxes. we need to consider the impact of federal spending policies on state finances which consequences for infra

president george herbert walker bush, his primary with ronald regan was tough in the '80s.e looking back after november and saying this was one of the nastiest general elections they've ever seen. part of that is because i'm from the president's home state and i know that the president's record is not a positive one that he can run on and having followed david axlerod and robert gibbs and the chicago machine, if you will, this is bear knuckle politics. chicago machine politics is pretty nasty and if these are the guys that can get rob blagojevich re-elected, i have no question in my mind what kind of presidential campaign will be run. it will be the politics of persons of destruction and they will be going after whoever our nominee is with all the negative ads that money can buy, that a billion dollars can buy. >> hold on. let me stop you. i want to ask steven moore. you write this editorial page. do you think that's true? do you think when he points out is this the nastiest as the former first lady says? do you think it is going to be the nastiest? >> it's been nasty. the

precedence, right, in the spring of 1980, ronald reagan was neck and neck with president jimmy carter, george w. bush at this stage in 1998 fighting off comparisons to regan clinton also during his nomination process dealing with critics charging him with womanizing, dodging the draft. all of them, though, eventually won their general election. can romney do the same? phil, i will start with you. >> sure. you know, heather, the reality is we are having a little bit of a family food fight in the republican party and the atmospherics haven't been great. the reality i think is that mit is going to be our nominee. he won two contests today and will pick up more delegates in kansas. impossible to handicap where we will be in october as we sit here in march and your points historically for the viewing audience are really germane. if you look at the closing months of this campaign whether it was 1976 or 1980 or 2000, our country is a pretty closely divided country and likely a margin of error race after we have the nominating convention in tampa and then romney has to go forward and make the argument on the economy, talk about an energy policy and talk about the
