Sunday Political Talk Show interviews during 2014: on Tax Reform

Martin O`Malley: Cut taxes on bottom 85% while raising taxes on top 15%

O'MALLEY: We've lowered them on the 85%.

Q: Right, the other 85% went down. You supported the Dream Act, and you're looking at an increase in the minimum wage.

O'MALLEY: Well, I believe that the people of our state and, also, the people of our country, want us to make choices on their behalf that yield results, results that make our economy grow by making our middle class grow.

Q: But those are policies which we used to call liberal agenda.

O'MALLEY: Yes. And I'm proud of each of those things. But, also, these things are also good for an economy. These things are good for building an innovation economy and attracting the most talented workforce. I think they all go together. What the people of our country want is not ideology, not trickle-down economics, but middle-out economics, where we strengthen our middle class to grow our economy & to give our kids a better future.
