Another democrat hints at a presidential run...

Chris Rock!



• Rock's stance on taxes: "You don't pay taxes," he said in his "Bigger & Blacker" comedy special (2000). "They take taxes. You get your check; money's gone. That ain't a payment; that's a jack."

• His idea of Social Security reform: "You don't get your money until you're 65. Meanwhile, the average black man dies at 54. We should get Social Security at 29. We don't live that long. Hypertension, high blood pressure, NYPD -- something will get you."

• Gun control: "We don't need gun control. You know what we need? Bullet control. I think all bullets should cost $5,000. 'Cuz if a bullet cost $5,000, there would be no more innocent bystanders.

"Every time somebody gets shot, it'd be like, 'Dang, he must've done something. They put $50,000 worth of bullets in his head.' And people would think before they kill somebody: 'Man, I would blow your head off if I could afford it. I'm gonna get me a job, start saving, and you're a dead man.' "
