Anthony Weiner: “I want the wealthy to be as wealthy as they can be. I have no grudge against that. I want all of us to be that wealthy.…”

I want the wealthy to be as wealthy as they can be. I have no grudge against that. I want all of us to be that wealthy. But we should be a country that fights for those who really need the help. We should not be a country that says: You know what? If you're a billionaire, we want to give you a little bit more. Who's going to pay the bill? Who is ultimately going to pay for this tax cut? It is going to be our children and our grandchildren.
