TheDC asked Ferrell, who co-hosted a $35,800 per ticket fundraiser for President Barack Obama in February, for his thoughts on Obama’s proposed elimination of Bush-era tax breaks for individuals making over $200,000 per year.

“75 percent – you don’t think that would hurt the economy?” TheDC inquired.
“No, no, no,” Ferrell replied.
