The clip above was distributed by Talking Points Memo and was recorded this past weekend at a Tea Party event in Papillion. Kyle Michaelis, writing in the New Nebraska Network, noted that last week, speaking to Kearney business leaders, Bruning suggested that half of Americans (the bottom half) are freeloaders and had better be careful or the rich who pay for everything will just disappear. According to the Kearney Hub:
"Half the people are in the wagon and the other half are pulling the wagon," [Bruning] said. "If you run your taxes up to a certain point, people are going to leave the country."
Michaelis added: "It also appears he thinks it's reasonable that wealthy Americans would leave the country if they're taxed at the same rate they were just ten years ago (before the budget-busting Bush tax cuts)."
