British representative to the European Parliament Nigel Farage makes headlines for his amusing speeches in Strasbourg putting down the EU and its president, Herman Van Rompuy. Here he shows a more reasoned side as he discusses his ideas on the EU, immigration and other issues with RT's Laura Emmet. The interview is from earlier this year.
Sure makes sense to me.

Sensible man. If I were British, I might vote for him. Raising the threshold for how much income people get to keep before they pay income tax would be a good reform here too, and eliminating lots of credits and exemptions, keeping the tax code simple, is overdue. I would, however, tax income over $1 million at 50%, and it might be worth taxing income over $10 million at 90%, with one exception: income invested in NEW capital (not stock shares exchanging hands, new factories, new warehouses, new railroads, producing new jobs) would be exempt from taxation.
As for the EU... Andrew Jackson firmly told John C. Calhoun that "the United States is a government, not a league." That is clearly not true of Europe. A loose EU might be a good idea. A United States of Europe is untenable.
Gary is speechless. Siarlys like Nigel Farage. The last time something like this happened, Gary had to dial 911.
