4. He's not even on the super committee. This is all bluster to frame the narative further. |

6. They are talking about tax "reform". I would guess that means the following |
|
Get rid of the only deductions that middle class people get to take, i.e. mortgage interest and state and local taxes and deductions aimed at small businesses and at the same time lower the tax rates for the rich, investors and big business.
