"Now the Republicans, you know, when I talked about this earlier in the week, they said, well, this is class warfare. You know what? If asking a billionaire to pay their fair share of taxes, to pay the same tax rate as plumber or teacher is class warfare, then you know what? I'm a warrior for the middle class.

So, the question is still, will the teabags push back against the GOP shot callers?
