Now is the time that we ask the Republicans a question - a question that I guarantee they can't answer. And that question is" "Can you name one thing - just one thing - that millionaires and billionaires will have to sacrifice in this debt-limit deal as part of a 'shared sacrifice' approach?"

With less than a week to go until our nation defaults - it's looking more and more likely that IF a debt-limit deal is struck this week - it will be almost entirely on Republican terms.

So now is the time that we ask the Republicans a question - a question that I guarantee they can't answer. And that question is... "Can you name one thing - just one thing - that millionaires and billionaires will have to sacrifice in this debt-limit deal as part of a 'shared sacrifice' approach?"

That's all - what will millionaires and billionaires have to give up like the rest of us?
