wyden: mr.sident, we hear often about this matter of taxing college endowments, that somehow this is going to address college affordability, make the tax code, you know, more fair, and i'm the chairman of the senate finance committee, and i gather that my colleague has just introduced this legislation maybe as recently as today. and i think it's appropriate that before we start making tax policy on the floor of the united states senate we have a chance to actually have the senate look at some of the details. for example, if we're going to talk about tax fairness, i'll just say to the senator from ohio, i welcome that. i'm the author of the bill to say that billionaires who now under the current tax code can go for years and years paying little or no taxes, autumn author of the -- i'm the author of the proposal to change t all you got to do is change three words. buy, borrow, die. that's how they do it. buy, borrow, die, pay little for years on end. so what we ought to do is take the gentleman's
