"I hate to say this on Fox, and I hope I'll be allowed to leave here alive, but I don't think there is anyway we can cut spending enough to make a meaningful difference," Stein said. "We going to have to raise taxes on very rich people, people with incomes of like say, 2, 3 million a year and up, and then slowly move it down."

Actually, I think your missing the point.  Which isn't that we need to raise taxes on the rich... but that we need to raise taxes on everyone.

He just wants to start with the rich... seeing tax increases as economically damaging.  So he wants to start slow.


That specific article is being deceptive with what he said.
