Marco Rubio turns a question about missing Senate votes into an attack on the mainstream media.

I think liberals should accept that if we want big programs that significantly reduce inequality - and we should - it's going to require higher taxes on everyone. The rich can certainly do more, especially given their stupendous income increases since the Reagan era, but they can't do it all.

[Donald trump] was steamed about [Hillary] Clinton's suggestion that he might not be as rich as he says.
