Trump: ‘The Wealthy Are Willing to Pay More’ Taxes; ‘We Had a Very Good Run’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I’m — I am willing to pay more. And do you know what? The wealthy are willing to pay more. We’ve had a very good run. You know, we hear all about Obama. We hear all about — we’ve had a very good run."
STEPHANOPOULOS: "So that would be a big change from your plan."
TRUMP: "No, it’s not a change, George. It’s a negotiation. Remember this, if I could get my plan approved the way it is nice I would be very happy. It’s not going to happen, because we have a lot of people that are going to be negotiating this and they don’t — they don’t do very well. The world — if you look at the United States with tax plans, not a lot happens. It just sort of stays the same. It’s a big quagmire. One of the things I’m getting is big simplification. We’re getting the lower rates. We’re getting a lot of things. But we’re getting massive simplification. We’re getting rid of carried interest, which is, you know, not going to make hedge fund people happy."
