In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, a victory-flushed Rand Paul explained why he opposes rolling back the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 a year.

PAUL: Well, the thing is, we're all interconnected. There are no rich, there are no middle class, there are no poor; we all are interconnected in the economy.



You remember a few years ago when they tried to tax the yachts. That didn't work. You know who lost their jobs? The people making the boats, the guys making $50,000 and $60,000 a year lost their jobs.



We all either work for rich people or we sell stuff to rich people, so just punishing rich people is as bad for the economy as punishing anyone.



Let's not punish anyone. Let's keep taxes low and let's cut spending.
