we're propose to go keep revenues where they are but to clear out all the special interest loopholes which are uniquely enjoyed in exchange for lower rates for everyone. a simply flatter more competitive tax system to bring at least as much revenue into the government as we are bringing now but in a fairer way so everybody pays the same tax rate when they make the same amount of money which is the kind of tax code that the president supported. >> the tax rate, you would reduce to 25%. the white house says that under your plan, you would give millionaires in this country 150,000 tax cut. >> those numbers are not credible. the point i would say is that eight out of ten of our businesses in america file their taxes as individuals. the president says their top tax rate in january should go to 44.8% effectively. here's the problem. all of our competitors overseas are lowering their tax rates. canada went to 15. president obama is saying the tax code that individual small businesses pay goes up to 45. we will lose jobs if we go down that path. we're saying get rid of those tax shelters. the interest group lo

we're unique and special. >> speaking of how unique and special you are, one of the most unique operationsthe ship is the eight nuclear reactors that maintains four props. what is the challenge of going forward having a more complicated ship? >> there's a complexity associated with it because the technology at the time when this great ship was designed and built didn't allow for the larger reactors we've had on the newer vessels. there's a an amount of complexity that goes along with t. we have flexibility in operations that no other ship has and that provides redun dancy and reliability itself right there. >> to kill a rumor right now, all eight of the plants are running. >> running like champs. >> there's some rumors that it reengined with two or only has four reerks that run, the -- reactors that run. >> it runs well. >> you know this ship inside and out because of all the time you've spent. what are the things that are really, really cool and what are the things that make you want to tear your hair out? >> i think one of the coolest things i will limit it to and talk a little more is o

the same. think you. >> hello, my parents have lived at this home 46 years ago. this is in a unique neighborhood. i have watched most of the new construction in the neighborhood, the history, and it is interesting that this was brought by the neighbors in 1975. within a few years again that cover the neighbors across the street also proposed to build two houses on a very similar lot all the neighbors at that time fought it and it is now a single-family home. they had to drop the plans. this, the history of the street has been brought to my attention that in that 160 belgrades is supposed to be torn down. i will have to correct that. i have had in process with the planning department, to build a garage and that is it, but anything being torn down. i would like to see the neighborhood not change. it is unique. and i just wish that some of you could come and see it. it is more open space. >> this is on belgrade avenue and this is only two blocks long. -- belgrave avenue, this is only two blocks long. take anything from us, our bridges, even our bait, but leave us our hills. a hill is m

the unique programming has been a key component to san francisco's reputation as an international leader in diverse performing arts attractions. we look forward to offering their one-of-a-kind experience along the waterfront soon again. thank you. j >> eff hoyle? -- >> jeff hoyle? >> good evening, commissioners. my name is jeff and i have been a bay area resident for 40 years. i have been a performer for over 30 years, starting with the pickle family circus. i have been with teatro zinzanni for over five years. many of my co-workers have been there for over 10 years. certainly, some of the kitchen staff have been there for that amount of time. over the years of performing and working together, the company developed a bond that greatly enhances the theatrical experience for our guests. teatro zinzanni has an international reputation as a first-class attraction bringing in artists and performances from north america, south america, europe, asia, and australia. my parents' generation used to talk about dinner and show. teatro zinzanni is a dinner in a show. performers are welcomed into this

the judiciary. what difference does it make if it is unique? >> the judge's question is e difference is we are faced with a real argument, not an insubstantial one that there is this parade of hypothetical problems at the doorstep. if you do this, they can do that. to which the answer that the question is suggesting is not so fast. if this is really different and unique, then you have nothing more than a holding. you take the next case at the next time in the crucible of the next set of facts. if it is not unique, if what is common dominates over what is disparate, that may be a very geane to the thrust of the argument that two out swept the door open and limited power. i would suggest to you that whether or not this market is unique is an important part of the calculus. en though it requires you look at the economic reality. >> i have two points. even if it is unique, that is for congress to decide. if the have the power to do it, they do nohave to limit themselves. number two, let's examine the next case. let's see how unique this is. but they

dorr resigned as editor but stayed immensely committed to the fight for a federal amendment. a unique quality of the suffragist was its attention to middle and working class women as readers. and the traumas endured by working poor women and their children. it is here that allender's work can be best highlighted. allender drew for women about women. fellow suffragist inez haynes irwin described allender as having "a keen political sense". i'm going to quote at length from her because it really sums up the unique quality allender brought to her political cartoons. she wrote "allender's translated this aspect in the terms of the women's movement in terms that women alone can best appreciate. her work is full of the intimate, everyday details of the woman's life from her little girlhood to her old age. and she translates that existence with a women's vivacity and a women's sense of humor. a humor which plays keenly and gracefully about mass a masculine incensability, a humor that is archly unbitter as that of jean austin. it would be impossible for any man to have done mrs. allender's wo
