you can imagine. And there's no better role than onstage this is the -- When you have to itself. And look toward displayed behind it and apparently I'm -- the power to control it so I got from walk on this. Our eyes -- not known if the cut not I'm bringing that cutting down. -- -- A power low roof. Thought that fast just -- -- really is funny compass I was set up and up on -- exit stage right. I have a question from a year behind and she says I'll put this huge dominating tree in the back. And it's taking up all my spice I come landscape around at what -- day. It's quite common here -- -- an excellent solution. Now these tall sit around advice of the -- this -- graph between them so the -- still gets votes nutrients and water off. Around -- -- where it needs it -- can expand and grow and do whatever incidents you still get your access and you follow around the buys it feels like about a -- guys. And these beautiful -- get exactly what they want to everyone's happy. Touch. Okay good job and now for something completely different. It's a walled garden gone to the dogs. This is that moment and this is a specialty training dogs and beaten them I don't know a luxury life. Now that's what I wanna do so the focus still don't flawless that's was it the full well it was a swimming pool as a regular human swimming pool. What happened is first when we stopped using it pretty much but we still have to maintain it which was a lot of aggravation and and who aren't that thrilled about it but with the ball and themselves up walls and underdogs. We're the ones that were mostly using. They enjoyed it enormously if -- -- it's that seed them and they love to swim they they circle around the war. So it was. The underground pipes of the poor broke a -- and it was gonna cost tens of thousands of dollars to do the necessary repairs. The apron on and on -- and just very expensive. So basically it was a rigorous mental and then you had to make a few subtle changes I see this and division in the middle right we did that just for visual interest and visually interesting it is -- and allowed it wasn't -- Obama is it a brochure for your life it's all of down to the bottom -- excellent. That would some of the defense. I think it was partially filled and all the old paper and material was thrown in half and concrete. Was put down to make it -- it's a bit more formal. There's shelves there for parts of plants that Jones is doing well. And honestly it's not it does look inviting for human. But the -- is not the problem people sometimes the body's fat -- is actually not assigned. We'll pull Walter connection to sign of healthy want to it is there's this is up and a complete closed ecosystem here. You're on a bio -- tried to use of bio filter it's under that push there. There fish that take care of any mosquito larvae with no mosquito problem. The running water air -- the pond so that's good for the says she can see the plants are happy. -- you put a hold of -- on and I concede there are several kind of walkways. Do you put little reason for us so did you. No I waited until. The dogs had established where they enjoyed running or not that is -- really since the landscape design often told people to move in the 2000 address saying we humans. Find out what you do Vietnam -- and then -- apartment which -- and. Same -- don't let them make that kind of trail around right work colleagues are naturally somewhat excessive they love to circle. And so they would run around this spot pond which is the main part they play in and then periodically they'll take a turn for the rest of the garden and their feet always wet on the same. Places the same area. Creatures of habit yes yes absolutely and so I put some straight pads down. Where they ran. And then planted around those pets tell us about the apology wasn't putting a favorite most adults. On they cost a fan because this is pretty shady if the dog -- against it it's not fraudulent rankings have nothing mushy on the edge it can be crushed down right. It's not the biggest drop specialty can run through run underneath right and I do I did try to have some different kind of contrasting our colors and it. He's done and textures. The little arm -- heard the hi this -- red shield. Think you wanna meth -- and just what sort of interest but their quality plants that are not fragile content with less care. I don't have a ton of time to garden although I do love to garden And so. It has to be pretty easy can't we'll have to say you have some very low maintenance on them like

them. Hear what we have is kind of like this traditional tea garden you've got the camera meal you got that the basal. And then this is what I was -- cement that this is what. What kind of misses -- thought wait a -- and then awesome with if this and it's in a pot so what's great about this is that folks don't have. The garden at home they can plant in the park keep it in -- -- sure program to send your kitchen door for that -- it just it smells so good just sitting here. And one thing I realize about herbs is that they're really easy to grow. Animals don't -- and insects don't eat them. You know there sensitive their equipment at the mineral products here we have kind of like a tea garden I mean this is something that somebody could do at home first save Greece for T. All of these things are pretty

-- -- And this is your -- daunting right or right off the kitchen yet so. Cook. Signs the closest place to get food from and come out Enron which is excellent right that's right. It's an addict just full flights was the pool but I love what you give him -- rise of -- Russia. Could go small rises. And lovely big -- traits which is lovely right we spent a lot of time working on that so we keep everything very flat and -- trip very easy. To move around of the patriots' I don't think people think about that and putt Colin resort trip -- and not some general -- right exactly that is -- outdoor -- -- Yeah we're right off the dining living room.

Heats up the house but he reflects off he took all this beautiful paving reflecting all of that summer sun right but back up in your face up to that so my brain fools you sell them. And this is one of the silver gardens -- -- -- are you gonna tell me what's all the parties to -- to get that wonderful cool feeling.

The silver actually is. Without an either green -- silver -- just kind of be bouncing off the self reflection. But one dark green in there and all jumped out matches that's an orange what's what's going on that -- -- -- little bit of hot color I figured a little bit of Orange just admit that garden kind of jump in. And of that orange pathetic you. And it emphasizes health silver and cool all the other colors are. Absolutely -- now.

You and has done a wonderful and again white is such a great colors for a kind of a soft. Cooling effect enough that we can you can see three in the booking anything the whole point of this is that you can see through the town but that there's something of interest. This strawberry compliments his love of -- this this is it was amazing very isn't it wonderful. Carry -- earth. Three characters characters to -- Qaeda to actually a few flowers up in the back. They're very very pale. Purple blue. And this whole bubble -- into cloud that lavender purple.

And that's what it is it's -- CO bureau viera. That fund if it's a new leaves you can see in little bits -- that the white felt has actually rubbed off vulnerable greens and I don't know. And now it's it's on their pretty good bit of -- essentially it is just everything that's giving it the white. Our LT hairs that -- the moisture to keep it from reducing transportation and therefore. It can take a drier climate and the silver is a classic color for a drought loving -- Very -- sometimes that carried us as well that concealing the villagers has transpired too much he keeps moisture in the month it's all about keeping water inside the plant -- and this combination of another. A golf which is useful -- to -- the business I imagine exactly wildly grown in Mexico for tequila and just and again I love the form and that plan is if you would look at that a got -- so you say it's a silver blue when you put that Sunnis feel right next to it absolutely brilliant. This is a some golf this is the cooling so much as some regard. What we want to look -- now awesome plots that when Bill Clinton wins this winter in suspicion in the employment at the very don't see very difficult this will set me off them. Look at -- it. The Felix -- done. Since this is golden -- the curly in the control of the shape that become a silhouette is absolutely wonderful so in the winter against you know winter -- use of these giant golden girls so that's going have a look at some of the winter in response you have -- child and a wonderful. So even though it's made some. -- will be looking at -- interest income was us Arizona had tons of reasons it's such an important element in the permanent structure of your garden And so you really need to look at it you around soon it will from the winter will last seven months optical -- five. On my birthday October 15 all the -- dropped. And it looks bad -- got a bad although we -- today although it's an ice and winter is that because the most important season that's what we look at it and then various aspects you can look at on the this is a and the green yeah it is it's a Japanese -- that doesn't mean Wednesday if it turns a beautiful copper absolutely love it. Beautiful lush green for the summer so fantastic and this maneuver that and -- doesn't mean green them off. Yellow confidence there regular telephone the spurs visited -- on the -- and in the soles and in this -- of cholera. Another real popular -- saw one of the process for a winter landscape. This is a wonderful went through this is when I love it's. Millennia sky racer just really beautiful open -- flowers at Stanford good part of the winter. Not to -- in mind Paula the snow melted down so I think she's out of Iraq is just to make it. To on this is that a new cult of service got the -- interest in its stand as it is that wonderful things that are done it. This is an American native plant called nine bark -- a corpus. Popular fully instances one -- diablo. What color and -- this summer but look at -- -- mean that's why we grow this plant in the winter has the most beautiful it's fully eating -- Big paper eastern and peels of -- he's got a super easy to grow and it has these beautiful. Seen pods that formed flowers and lovely white clusters of flowers. And it forms these beautiful seed pods. Late in the summer until it sees clinics to legalize and by -- of some -- The key viper room. I Burnham institute wrote that wonderful absolutely and one of the things the wind -- it's a source of food for goods above the snow line that -- can get some birds love them. And some postman get through the whole -- but they still. If you Google a run for the money as is one of them is -- absolutely this takes the cold well and in the fall when the first frost or coming it just. Hold the frost beautifully looks great people to mount lenses like. Often with a landfall at the -- who just. Overhead this is and they to cross I had gentlemen of the weight of -- been going amongst that wonderful little blue stem. One of my favorites. And if feeling grown its native so some of them stand up better in the winter than others renewals are tough choice and it -- come -- hard. But this is a wonderful one. Russians age rule absolutely. Becoming more more popular every -- spreading throughout American Lance. And deservedly so yeah absolutely when these when the leaves falloff in the late summer or into the fall you look for these beautiful white stands at just stand. Through most of the winter to get these guys bought a seat him -- -- Adams. Kind of living with -- and if I don't get tired of Italy these beautiful brown seed heads up for the -- is another nice interest. Until about one choice that's very very critical is that. You have to pick the right plan for and responsive as the treatment of schools some very attractive to them obviously off -- you have to touch that and flakes off but that was on these -- that's important kinds of muffled. Raise its hands. -- and uncles and outstanding flaw true multi -- wonderful. I've always had this policy when I come to plant design as items to cold miserable along with the place I skull with plants but two of them into. Then I will go to full Sama and I wanted to bring -- -- civil. This brings great anyway. But I am just happy had to come and if you had a good zones and the rest of the years falls into place and so thanks and so -- -- -- we really enjoyed wonderful of his it would. Now I get questions all the time about how to -- what are -- But also make it look abundant and this is the right solution -- -- -- that in -- minorities of dodge Aspen. Usually Condit that he uses a ground Kalla. Not highly does that insulate the whole god and it keeps the moisture inside stops evaporation of water -- But it also as it drops leaves and trees drop relays is falling between. Become a pot on the soil and enrich the soil and create a healthy gambit that looks abundant or you around. When I of the garden and always looking for texture and color which usually means of vegetables than it tastes great. But I like to think about

skin walking around Jurassic Park but this. Laughs and not tell as the Italians call it. Is -- really great to add to an arrangement so I think this is kind of a cool idea. I got a basket which this time here I was inspired to spray what they call -- tomato orange and inside. I just nestled a saucer that you find of course at the hardware store garden march. And a rocks that are gonna weighed down the second plastic container. Now when you're working with -- and putting it into an arrangement it and treat it just like a fresh -- to always give -- that second cut before we put in in in arrangements. And I feel that. Saucer on the bottom with a little bit more water and then just start arranging my -- Right and edges of the baskets. And that's your building it just cut your. Scaled down to size in -- it right in so it starts overlapping a little bit creating kind of cash -- as war. Because what we're going to add epicenter. Is an ornamental pepper I love these at this time of year. It got that. Cool color again I was inspired by that deep dark green of Beasley. I'm settled this and in the middle. Ideally I probably would have liked it a smaller more -- a squat ornamental but still it fills up the basket nicely. And then I'll just continue with my dinosaur Cahill. As I build around it and some of them needs -- it's nice Kurds he and his curve it right around the injured and then -- it into its little. Waters saucer underneath now inspired and then by color. I found some beautiful peppers in the garden that I thought well. Have an -- The chef Michel they might be for cooking but for me strictly decorative these are hot ones. Stick this writing here at some more color. Waiting. To like him. Got you say well -- it's an arrangement that it's all eye of the beholder what do you see -- dinosaur can island. And hot -- -- to me that looks like a centerpiece that I could. Cook and you could take care so you don't work with this sensor camp yes I and it's it's one of my favorite things -- what I'm gonna do is make it dinosaur -- and late season tomato soup that's really great for cool weather sounds perfect just loud when -- makes it. So what I've done Sissy is I've -- little little bit of garlic. In the bottom of the candles from that added these beautiful red barrel onions and and sought him just until they soften its gonna be perfect for Mike he helped -- and tomato soup. -- collared into made up okay Michelle once again you're showing your creativity in the inspiration. I those ingredients that tradition. The but I. I I don't think so but I know that they're gonna teams could get if you think of kale Collard steep rich greens and they could really benefit from. Some of the city being a little sweetness and that's what tomatoes can bring to -- so if you -- mind handing me. Those are -- there right there Collard greens and -- cut up. You know into about you know quarter to half inch pieces will will feel a few of these and then here we have some my curly Cahill that we picked a little bit earlier. What if that. -- Cahill that. All these different types you know on this one of course the -- which I -- with you recognize that -- right I I love it for -- for its texture and it's color and I can't -- to hit -- and it looks kind of restart doesn't recognize it -- it it is delicious and you know I just. I'm so thrilled. To have such a variety of greens in the garden and its just just to be able to. See what the garden has seen a lot of people say if you're an inspiration but it's not you go argue -- you -- the food you think of the flavors and hey now we're gonna do if you -- that vegetable snack here. Just in this in the stands at a gorgeous. Vegetables and a beautiful. We're just gonna give it. A little splash. And then here I have a variety tomatoes from the -- we have he's really beautiful little golden and red cherries we got some purple Cherokee. And just tennis tennis and those in power -- that looks and then I'm gonna put the cover him we're gonna let it took about six or seven minutes. -- -- -- -- -- Now smell. That Sissy and look at that color and a beautiful -- now the greens if cook just about seven minutes so they still have that kind of vibrant color and gonna season with a little bit of sea salt but some pepper but there we go yet thanks. -- pressure -- cracked pepper is always a bonus in case you had other things to this if he wanted to make it more collective and meal brochure you mean user you have been would be great. You know shell beans out of the shell even snap beans would be awesome as well and -- suggest they be able sausage -- suggest that I really nuisance suit. Please do wild smells fantastic now what -- party this is for cold days I love soups like this when I've been gardening. Late autumn. The event -- in the air and this is just something that warms your all the way right in and enjoy the fruits of your. Have -- the fruits of your labor rights and vegetables and different and here's what does that. You -- its web -- he's got techcrunch. And did you really that the flavor. Of the green and that's the sweet innocent to me now wow oh yeah can build the little cherries are just so moments and a beautiful. Again as I said mother and he'll make -- and guard them. Well I have decide this week -- -- some very cool things poll had some great ideas be using cool colors and -- gotten. And we had some -- -- ideas but poolside Gagne walked outside it was a pretty cool shot would you. Cycle I'm Jenny jury and we'll see you next time on the victory down.

too wet if you make it to soup soup being. Splattered in the joints here that can sustain the stone. And all this work. He's going to be for now. Greatness pretty good. They hand they'll -- What I'm gonna do is go around industry. Rush out any dust because we really want this new mortar next to bond you can even take a close actually -- just. Oppose the so if the technique to joint thing is to make sure. You pack. The more during the until. I don't want any air bubbles are gaps. In the -- wanna make sure its path. And try to be -- You know you gonna get a little on the edge of the stone but this -- is a great consistency so I don't have to worry about it oozing. All over the stone. This is something you don't wanna do at home. I like to put the mortar my hands. And work out a bit with my hand but. If you're skins not used to this mortars so it's gonna make you crack and -- if not used to that is get yourself a rubber glove. Put it on hand. That way to protect your skin it's something like that first time your hands crack and we've -- them. That is one big mistake that a lot of people make when their joint and they don't use the brush for the final and yes. Take it and you're going to brush the wet mortar. And that way it's going to help -- -- -- -- blend in with the old did you surprise when this is Josh. It's gonna matched the consistency. Of the joints. Hopefully it's gonna be close to the color and with a couple of winters. May be followed through with some rain. You'll never noticed that it was a patch. There's only one reason to build a fire pit and that's to makes -- And fire pit. Look at that baby right there. Wow. Egg plant one of my favorite vegetables also is one of the easiest to grow. Now this is a classic Italian black beauty in you can grow these inside if you had endured growing space with the southern exposure. You can start the end a winner just like a tomato plant them in the window transplanted after the first frost gonna pop this one in the basket and I have another one here. Here we have the classic white Italian eggplant. This is the one where it actually got the name could they look like eggs hanging from the bush we ever Rosa Bianca and here I have something interest thing also in the garden . It's. Kind of a cross between. An Asian each about it plant in the classic white Italian has at long classic Asian shape. And it's just beautiful and I just love. Diversity because of flavor but not just because of flavor but for variety reasons so let's talk about biodiversity. Now from the standpoint of a shaft it's important because of flavor. From a standpoint of food security. It's just important period. If you think back to Irish times of the potato famine they only had two varieties of potato planted. When the -- came it was over for the entire country. But if you go to where potatoes come from in the Andes the -- planted thousands of variety. Didn't matter if there was rain if there was drought something always survive they always had food. Now again from shaft. I love biodiversity because variety is the spice alive and look at these peppers here's another excellent example of diversity we have the hottest in the world the hot and aero. Also known as the Scott spotted -- Cali and day here we have the classic -- Pena. Here we have some red cherry peppers these are mildly spicy and then we have. These really beautiful light greens sweet reds. So medium purples. And the Hungarian wax pepper we're gonna make it hot spicy back at home grown -- stable by cooking and eggplant dish using all of these wonderfully diverse flavors so. Why don't we go back and cook. -- check out this amazing table look at all these beautiful things almost all of them from the garden . And I'm getting hungry we have this amazing eggplant we've got our spicy peppers we have kind of like a medium spicy sweet. And our sweet peppers right here. Really great heirloom tomatoes. Since sliced fresh onions some dinosaur Cahill and just a little bit a lemon zest for that extra zappa flavor now what I'm gonna do is pre heat -- -- Just get it warm because I like to work with eggplant fairly quickly now a lot of folks like to -- take the egg plant and put in a little bit water keeper from oxidized and I don't like to do that. A little bit of oxidation doesn't hurt at all the important thing for me is actually preserving the flavor he had -- when you could keep an eggplant and water. What what's happening is you're basically gonna make -- -- it's gonna we've been cooking process you're just not gonna get the intensity of flavor that you would get if you went with the eggplant. From scratch. Now here we have -- -- kind of white Asian variety. Really loved this I'm just gonna cut it the size of this black beauty that I've already peeled and cut into large chunks. Now I like my eggplant chunky I don't like it too small or more sheep I really like to preserve the integrity of the flavors they can see that all of these. Shapes are about the same size you can see different -- patterns in the two different -- plants this is a beautiful thing and add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil for the pan. Enough to cover the bottom generously because this eggplant is very very thirsty and the way I like to keep the eggplant. From oxidize and is just throw it right in the pan super fresh super tasty I'm not gonna lose anything with this this is the way to go. And while this is looking to move around a little bit. You can see it's just sizzling a little bit and you just want these pieces to coat themselves in the olive oil and if you see that the out of Willis starting to dry up because the -- or Thursday. You just reach in and drizzle just -- touch more. And then we're gonna add these wonderful onions now these are really nice sweet red barrel onions. Gonna toss him right in with the eggplant that's gonna had a really great airmen equality in here we have this wonderful dinosaur -- Dinosaur Cahill the longer you could hit the sweeter gets so we're gonna add this to the cooking process. And just cover it. And I'm gonna let this cook about six to eight minutes until the egg plant really kind of wilt down becomes a little tender and just starts to lightly -- It's karma -- a little bit it's shrunken. Some of the juices have really started to kind of like. Make really great little pieces of fertilization on the bottom of the -- we're gonna scrape some of that up. Get this heated again. And now we're ready to add the rest of the ingredients. Here we have this really wonderful juicy heirloom tomato would -- look at that choose save the Jews don't take the seeds out. Little bit of really wonderful women's us eggplant women tomatoes they really love each other some of my favorite ingredients that. Little bit a see -- And a wave of fresh pepper. And we're just gonna give this -- good toss. And now it's time where the hot and spicy part we're gonna add the -- and how seniors and cherry peppers. Little bit of that. Those nice purple. Peppers in the Hungarian whacks. Some sweet red and green. And just look at the riot of color in this hand. Now I like to keep the peppers a little bit on the raw side because I love that textual crunched some people like him will that a little more. That's the case just Adam. When you add the tomatoes cricket for like an extra minute or two and you can make the peppers nice and soft. -- That's beautiful. Diverse spicy that just goes to show you diversity it's -- When it's hot there's not a better place today. Then in the gotten -- had a few letters from viewers like me and said might have gotten has become out of control got Simon and I don't want to do -- well. It's pretty simple drag if you had got I've got Basil here. And -- you'd take a stroll through the job and another night you might just find a -- five star ships running around with nothing to do in theory it's poll from. From the -- car not a beach resort and -- nice this is fantastic we using vessel in in a car. How this is gonna be -- savoring. Savory and sweet from that Lugar has. Little messy and here to run. On the -- -- I you know you should set it keeps and I create. They -- and a pink thing with the media. -- -- But those and then last half of ours we've cut into four pieces blueberries lime and Basil and I -- -- in the -- -- -- by the -- look. To release the royals left and then we can't simple syrup -- And we put in approximately one -- about. And then we're going to put in our Brazilian -- we gonna put in. Two ounces and meaning just little more for you -- thank you very much in their ungodly pretending to it and he did that's right -- -- -- I -- And that's from there was going to flaky and I it's and then we're. It's just not all that for a minute more. Let's get all the -- come on guys. Is guys all the dads well none thanks we're having this -- -- a ball will -- -- it's all about hot on Jenny jury will see you next time. On the victory job. You know it's critical fire pits in the fall in the winter time you have a party -- and Edwards doesn't feel really good you can kind of closed since. World's attention measurement.

A first round victory for President Clinton. One of our stories tonight on Washington week in review. Good evening congress has taken the first big step toward approving the president's major economic program. Our house committee endorsing higher taxes to help lower the huge federal deficit. Gloria it was a significant victory for Bill Clinton on Capitol Hill this week. I think in fact pulled -- that's why has press conference today because he finally had something he can go to the Rose Garden . And serve applaud and say you know I won one the house Ways and Means Committee is Jack was saying. Approved his tax bill out of committee -- just some modifications but not major modifications. And you know of course this is a tax bill that I I must say is one of the largest tax increases in the nation's history 250 billion dollars. Over the next five years but I also have to say that it's the most serious attempt to deficit reduction we've seen in a very long time. It's a tax bill that's gonna affect everybody in this country if you're very rich you're gonna have higher tax rates. If you're just an average person in this country you're gonna pay more an energy taxes. And if your corporation you're gonna you're gonna pay more taxes are very briefly that going into all of us. All the details if you earn over a 150000. Dollars a year your rate. Is gonna go up and appear in a lot more -- 150000 dollars a year your rates gonna go up from 31%. Almost 40% so that's kind of a massive increase on the wealthy. In this country. People will see if you don't get a tax rate increase. You're gonna see an increase in other ways maybe if -- gas pump may be here in your utility bills. And if you're among the working poor in this country you get an -- investment tax credit. To offset those additional energy costs on the business side corporate tax rate goes up one point from 34 to 35%. And that there is some incentive for business small business in this they're trying to give people incentive to buy new equipment so they're there is something for business. I must say however that this is not the end of the road that this has got to go to the senate where Bill Clinton he now has had a lot of problems recently so winning over. -- -- got a problem with Democrats on this tax bill in the he's not likely that. Hit it through their problems they know it's got to go to the senate finish first first in the house is going to vote on this measure and a couple of weeks and I would have to predict and it's gonna. Passed the House of Representatives. There's a wide margin in the house that's not gonna get much if any Republican support Republicans to not want to go on record voting for tax increases. In the senate then goes to the Senate Finance Committee where the Democrats have a one vote margin there are lots of conservative Democrats and that committee. Who don't like this energy tax and you can be sure there's going to be some more changes -- reason that you out there were some changes in the house versions. Bill Clinton had to make some concessions to the aluminum industry. Took farmers. To the real estate industry to utilities there had to be some horse trading in the house is the house guys said hey we don't want all the trading going on over in Spanish you know we we -- again and -- like yeah. Nothing nothing truly fundamental the balance of the bill is that most of the tax revenues are. Coming from taxis levied on wealthiest -- -- I would sent. Well they're not gonna change that part of it and may change the energy tax but I will tell you that that that the notion that the that the wealthy should be taxed a little war. Is popular with Democrats some books written clear -- it seems to me for -- Perot voters checkpoint at the president announced this deficit reduction trust -- there is fat for real what religion or is that just an -- not me part -- -- I I think there are lots of people who have been talking about deficit reduction -- in the house. And in the -- everybody likes the sound of it it's a good conservative. Sounding idea. I'm not quite sure how it's going to be implemented but why does not golden knocking it -- -- well -- -- says it's gimmick but a lot of Republicans -- have been talking about it saying it's not again you know we half the devil is in the details are we have to see that the . -- -- also knocked it today and said that you know he was at a Wichita Falls audience where the people all this laughter -- that it. Out of the water -- not a single person according to round but it is but if Ross Perot has suggested that those people wouldn't.

Right how is it gonna get out there. Well that that they have a Social Security very deftly politically and it switches that if you now pay taxes on your Social Security income. You will pay more taxes under social security and if you don't pay any taxes now under Social Security you will not pay any tech new taxes -- business expert no new. Taxes under this so if you are already among the wealthiest Social Security recipient. You pay on 50% of your Social Security income. Now I will pay 85%. Of your Social Security
