warren buffett. i mean, so it's not a campaign against all those who are wealthy, is it? >> no. it's not a general blanket statement that if you're in the 1% you're somehow bad, but it is a statement that the 1% currently get tax breaks and certain laws that are -- that give them a certain edge that the average american doesn't. warren buffett's secretary, as president obama said the other day, should not be paying more taxes than warren buffett, and we want an equal playing field where everyone has the same chance to fulfill the american dream. >> are you a supporter of free market capitalism? >> i personally absolutely am. i run my own web design business, and without this free market capital system, i wouldn't be able to get to where i am. >> some have described this movement in revolutionary terms. you can see how it would easily be painted with a broad brush as something that seeks to overturn capitalism, as we know it. >> i think that the word "revolution" scares a lot of people because they assume that means overthrow of the government, but i think we need to have revolut

in a radio interview yesterday. >> have you officially responded to elizabeth warren's comment about how she didn't take her clothes off? >> thank god. >> "thank god"? that's how they say it in massachusetts. and this campaign is just getting started. next up, how's this for a bad dream? what if you were running for president and nobody showed up, only press, no voters. that's what happened to vp candidate gary johnson when he arrived at a new hampshire high school to speak with voters last night. the room was empty. rather than split, johnson and the five reporters stuck around for a q&a session. so what are the future plans of gary johnson if he does not end up in the white house? >> so it's president or nothing? >> well, by president or nothing, yeah, yeah, if i'm not successful, you're just never going to hear from me again. >> never going to hear from him again. based on his attendance record, i'm betting that soon even he won't be in the room. and finally, is gridlock good? according to supreme court justice antonin scalia, that was the plan all along. >> i hear americans sayin
