Do you know who that is? Lloyd Blankfein used to be the CEO at Goldman Sachs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041918-See-I-told-You-So-SITYS-Adjusted.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041918-See-I-told-You-So-SITYS-Adjusted.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041918-See-I-told-You-So-SITYS-Adjusted-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I met Lloyd Blankfein at a Super Bowl. It was the New England Patriots and the New Jersey Giants. And Blankfein came up to me, \u201cI know who you are, but you don\u2019t know who I am.\u201d And I said, \u201cThe hell I don\u2019t! You run Goldman Sachs. I know who \u2013&#8221; and he was stunned that I knew who he was. He said, \u201cI know who you are,\u201d like, \u201cI know who you are. Ha-ha. I know what you\u2019re up to, but you don\u2019t know who I am.\u201d \u201cOh, yes, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, yeah, yeah, Blankfein, Goldman, they would be part of the whole organization that we\u2019re talking about. These people bankroll the Democrats, for example. But put all that aside, none of that\u2019s relevant to the bite. Yesterday at the Citizen by CNN conference correspondent Poppy Harlow interviewed former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.<\/p>\n<p>What have I always told you about these rich guys? From Bill Gates to the Kennedys to all of them, Warren Buffett, what do they all say they\u2019re for? Tax increases on themselves. They all say they should be paying more taxes. Every time they\u2019re asked about taxes, they don\u2019t think they\u2019re paying enough. It\u2019s unfair their secretary, says Buffett, is paying a higher percentage than he does. It isn\u2019t fair, it\u2019s not right, I\u2019m not paying enough taxes.<\/p>\n<p>And why do they do that, I ask you? They do that so that when the peasants get filled up with this stuff and finally grab the pitchforks, they\u2019ll leave Gates alone and they\u2019ll leave Buffett alone and they\u2019ve legal the Kennedys alone because the Kennedys and the Gateses and the Buffetts and all the others have made it plain they wish they were paying more. They think they should be paying more.<\/p>\n<p>So they get insurance. They are not part of the evil rich because they know they\u2019re living lives that are totally unfair and unjust. They\u2019re not paying enough taxes. Well, Mr. Blankfein has come along and made me look like a genius, I\u2019m sure unwittingly. Poppy Harlow: \u201cDo you want to pay more taxes, Mr. Blankfein, and should you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Blackfein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Blackfein.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Blackfein-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BLANKFEIN: Do I want to pay more taxes?

I sure as heck would be willing to pay more tax if I could buy a &#8212; you know, a happier and less polarized society for sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hell, yes, I\u2019ll pay more taxes if it\u2019ll keep you away from my gate! When you pick up, what did he say, when you pick up your torch and your rake, I don\u2019t want you coming to my house. Hell, yes, I\u2019ll pay more. Except he never does. They could write a check and then they could publicize the check. They could write a check, they could take a picture of the check, press release, \u201cI, rich guy who think I\u2019m not paying enough and constantly talk about tax increases but never pay them, am finally gonna pay in more taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They never do it. They just sit there and tell everybody they\u2019re not taxed enough. They\u2019re not paying enough. The rich are not paying their fair share, says the upper echelon of the rich. And then these dummkopf environmentalist wackos and leftists leave \u2019em alone when they grab their torches and their rakes. Here, listen to it one more thing. Audio sound bite again number 13.
