What response was he expecting??

"TAX THE RICH!!!"

"So your solution is to tax the rich?"

"Oh... Well now that you put it that way... No I guess not."

I’m sure whatever he said after that clip ends was in effort to gaslight that crowd into thinking taxing the rich is somehow a bad thing.

I loved the “job creators” argument because it is super easy to disprove.

If my company that has one employee makes twice the profits off the same number of orders as it made last year Im not hiring anyone because I don’t need to despite being able to afford it. What would make me hire someone else is the volume of orders increasing past the point where I can fill them hence the customers are the job creators.
