5:02 pm
melissa: i am melissa francis enters what is a "money" tonight. the rich are shelling out more in taxes than they have in 30 years. does this finally count as their fair share? they have big congress to tax them more. one of those numbers is with me now to explain why. and betting big on bad loans. investors are piling into securities. does that sound familiar? subprime loan, anyone? he will tell you why this is the real problem behind student debt that nobody else is talking about. and google airports to delays. top airport officials say the worst is already happening from sequester. really? will break out the "money" truth meter and check out the claims. even when i say it is not, it is always about "money."
5:03 pm
melissa: first, today's market moment. even as those dreaded cuts move, stocks are unafraid taking another step toward the all-time high. shrugging off economic data from china reversing early losses. the major indices closing with modest gains. but the question on many investors minds, will tomorrow be the big day? the dow 38 points away from hitting its all-time high. let's talk taxes. how much do you think is enough for anyone? rich or poor? after hearing the president hammer home the rich paying their fair share, income families are paying more taxes than they have in 30 years. we aren't here to just report on that, our mission on "money" is to challenge the story you are
5:04 pm
hearing everywhere else. so what is your impact is even more this year, will it help or hurt? let's crunch the numbers. a group of american millionaires that want higher taxes on the wealthy. and senior policy analyst for tax policy at the heritage foundation. eric, you know i will start with you, you want to pay even higher taxes, why? >> i think i should pay higher taxes. melissa: why? >> it is basic. we will all have to contribute to solve this problem, and it is perfectly reasonable of people who benefited the most from the system over the past half a century and continue to do so contribute their fair share. melissa: i am sure you know if you confiscate the wealth of the wealthiest 1%, 2%, even 5%, it would not solve the problem. if you confiscated all the wealth. speakers will not be one individual thing, it wil to be e combination of factors. higher revenues have to be part
5:05 pm
of the solution, and i think the wealthy who have benefited enormously from the tax system over the last 25-30 years should be contributing more. melissa: what about the idea they are already contributing more? that is the point of this whole segment and a lot of the administration information, top 1% of households paying an average rate of 35.5%. 27.2% on the top rate. even if you bought into what eric said, the wealthier are already paying more. so you want more on the more? >> the treasury is still accepting donations so anytime you want to pay more, make your donation. warren buffett can do it as well. we are reaching all-time highs for the tax rate because of recent tax increases. obamacare raised income tax rates and on the top income tax rate as high as it has been
5:06 pm
since 1986. tax on capital gains and dividends reduced deductions and limited to personal exemptions. add that up, it is driving taxes higher than they have been. melissa: so the wealthier are already paying more. how much more deep in the wealthy should pay? >> let's be clear about something. the debate isn't about the level of taxation, per se. it is not about tax rates, it is about deductions and exemptions. the loopholes that litter our code. the average tax rate you are referring to doesn't apply to somebody like me who gets the majority of their income from investment. in the last 10 years i have never paid more than 16 or 17% of my income in taxes. melissa: that is a huge luxury. the loopholes argument doesn't hold. more than a few people by yourself.
5:07 pm
>> let's be clear, and applies e very wealthy, the top .1%. melissa: can't lower the rate and close loopholes? >> why not just close the loopholes? we need additional income, i think most people think it is unfair. melissa: so you want the wealthy to pay more. you think the wealthy should pay even more than they already are. >> people like myself should pay more. melissa: curtis, let me ask you, what would be the impact on the economy if we went ahead with that? the "wall street journal" says the top 20% of income earners account for 30% of all spending. does that indicate they can afford to pay more? or does it tell you they did 38% of the spending so we tax them even more, they will stop helping the economy. >> that tax rate includes the tax you paid before your capital gains and dividends, it does include you.
5:08 pm
if we raise taxes higher, we will slow the economy, will hurt middle-class and low-income families that everybody wants to help because it will reduce the opportunities they have. job opportunities and wage growth. not because we want to see a rate pay lower taxes, but because it hurts those of us. >> again, the origin of this is the observation that with the new tax increases, the wealthier are going to be paying among the highest rate they paid since 1979. if you go back to 1979 and look at the 30 years after 1979, the average american sought in income gain of about 32%. whereas th the top 1% so income gain of 155%. we have seen this enormous widening of wealth in the country. why should anybody be surprised seeing income inequality grow with people like me who are making money off of money we
5:09 pm
already have ar our pang at suca lower rate. what i want to hear is do you think income inequality is a problem? and if so, do you think it makes sense to tax the wealthy at a lower rate? melissa: eric, go ahead and respond to that, you get the last word. >> i do not think we can tax our way to solving it. we cannot give it to others and make the problem go away. income inequality arises from many factors and largely a problem from the tax code. we need economic growth. melissa: elevate people rather than punish people. >> exactly. melissa: thank you for a spirited debate. here is our "money" question today. our families paying their fair share, or should they pay even more? most think they are paying enough, but we want to hear from more of you. you can like us on facebook or follow me on twitter.
5:10 pm
all right, the never ending battle that is the keystone@pipeline could be one step closer to passing and some would say president obama wants shovel ready stimulus spending right now. in a friday night news, the state department released a report basically showing there would not be any significant environmental damage if the pipeline moves forward. so what are we waiting for? more on this, john kingston. what impact do you think this report will have? >> he said this will make it tougher. you can figure it will make it a lot tougher for the environment list perspective to stop. melissa: so what do you think happens from here? there has been a report before. >> this could easily get caught up in sequester policy. if there's any kind of movement on the negotiation and sequester, one of the things is
5:11 pm
okay, i will give you keystone excel pipeline in exchange for some other things, so it could become a bargaining chip in the other white house discussions. melissa: who do you think he means? they want to pipeline, the job, companies wanted, people who need energy want it. the only people fighting against it are environmentalists who don't even have the state department document. >> the conference was disrupted by a protester, i know that for the limitless vistas like the line in the sand, this is their biggest issue. they fill in a second term the obama administration is going to give them more of what they want and this is quite frankly the number one issue. it is not cap-and-trade, not a carbon tax, this is their biggest issue. they're looking at the obama administration to give them this. melissa: is interesting they would die on this mountain
5:12 pm
because it doesn't go through, does not mean the oil is not going to be harvested. >> they would argue differently. they argue they can oppose the northern gateway pipeline, that is very controversial. it would take a lot of the oil. but you're right, the rail option taking a lot of oil out of north dakota hasn't been used that much, that can happen. another big project, transcanada pipeline has a gigantic west east natural gas line that has been losing a lot of business because of the marsalis. every indication that they're going to turn into a crew line will take the oil from the oil sands that would otherwise go to the keystone xl. that could give the president an out. it is going to go through anyway. melissa: what is your pet if it is going to happen or not? >> ca chanda is probably our thd
5:13 pm
best ally. it would cause a serious rift between those nations if this was to stop. that is what may end up in the end. melissa: you have been at the top of the energy industry for so long, cannot stop without asking you about the new energy secretary. i heard him described as pro-nuke, pro-fracking, but alarmed by climate change. those are tough things to reconcile. >> pro-fracking because natural gas is a bridge fuel to a more renewable future whether it is more nuclear, more advanced than doubles, so it is actually not in conflict. some environmentalists are not happy because he is pro-fracking. but others are okay. a new administrator named today, everybody seems to say she is a good listener, certainly more

enthused about her. melissa: as somebody who drives a car cause i feel better about him? >> i do not think is going to make much difference. melissa: all right. thank you so much. time for today's fuel gauge report. futures hitting fresh lows for the year. citing concerns about falling global demand for crude. oil down for a third session. and transocean boardwalks restarted dividend for shareholders. carl icahn has been campaigning for the move. beginning in june, transocean would pay a dividend every quarter. and texas pitching retail gas business. the company said it will help expand the presence in oil exploration. along with a handful of power plants and energy trading unit. shares closed up 3.5% on the

♪ melissa: when you hear about student loan debt you may not care if you own any student loans but guess what, you need to care no matter what and here is why. never mortgage-backed securities fiasco? you if you didn't buy them or trade then you get hit when the economy went under. there is a new security in town and it is called the student loan.security. i've even heard about that? investors issuing up to $30 billion of these securities this year. the catch is more than $8 billion worth of these loans are in default. are we looking at an education bubble? jonathan hoenig is a fox news contributor. jonathan, what do you think, is this a bubble? >> at certain looks like it, melissa. major government intervention
5:20 pm
into this marketplace. probably more than anything, investors who are reaching for yield right now, searching for anything that pays regular interest, a regular dividend and a lot of these securities, student loans, junk bonds, mlp, business development companies, people are searching for yields, and hany pickup over caches everything you see a lot of interest in tradable student debt right now. melissa: the fact they have been packaged like this tells you there is demand for them, possibly the people who own them don't want to hold back because people are defaulting. it is not that much in the grand scheme of things. could it get bigger from here? >> student debt is actually quite big. bigger than the amount of credit card debt outstanding. my fear is just like ethanol, mortgages, it is government involvement in the marketplace
5:21 pm
distorting the perception of risk and ultimately very disastrous outcomes for investors and for those taking out the loans. 35% delinquency rate, government stands behind 90% of these loans so of course when the bill comes due, when interest rates rise, the economy starts to slow, you can see an implosion not unlike what you saw with the mortgage debt earlier in the last 10 years. melissa: do they repackage or the private loans or the federal loans as well? >> both as well. that is what is so damaging is this is probably in people's portfolios that they are not even aware of. just as we so mortgage debt very safe, almost government-backed in the days leading up to the housing meltdown, i think there is a sense student debt if there was a problem, delinquencies rates started to shoot up, you would see government come in with some type of assistance the
5:22 pm
same way those investors who held mortgage-backed from fannie and freddie got bailed out as well. melissa: even if you don't get hit from the bubble bursting, you will get hit with a taxpayer bailing it out. so one way or the other, our audience is going to pay. >> that is a very real fear. the talk of student loan debt bubble has been out there for quite some time. it really hasn't occurred just yet, but as you pointed out, some delinquencies rates are inching up, and so starved for yield in this environment government has mutilated interest rates down to zero, they are oftentimes buying debt because they don't understand the risks behind it. melissa: there is no asset that backs it. unlike the mortgage fiasco, there was an asset underneath this, there is nothing in this case. they really didn't offer anything as collateral, so to
5:23 pm
speak. >> one of the interesting parts is the federal student loans in which usually credit loans are not required for extremely low interest rates. the private part of the student loan market, which a tiny little sliver which requires credit checks has much higher interest rates. that goes to show perhaps the real market, the free market is showing student loan debt being much more risky than what the government regulators and bureaucrats would have us believe. that is where the correction will come. once the subsidies start again, reality reassert itself in the market comes tumbling down. melissa: something to look out for and be careful of. thanthank you for coming on. i bet you didn't know about that one. next on "money," wisconsin is ready to dig deep on iron ore. governor scott walker may hit restrictions on excavation to boost the state's economy. but we will tell you why to

5:29 pm
kind of makes you wonder this is the right industry at the right time. the man behind the bill is republican state senator, and he joins me now. senator, what about that estimate? that has me really worrisome. prices could fall by 50% because of the supply. we certainly have seen that with natural gas. >> sure. we passed this bill for the future. and certainly commodity prices have their peaks and valleys, but over time we think this is going to be a very good enterprise to have here in the state of wisconsin. our neighbors to the east and west, they have had robust iron mining industries. we feel we can do the same in wisconsin. melissa: have you run the numbers based on that kind of decline in price? that is really precisely what has happened with this tremendous glut of natural gas we have seen in the market due to fracking creating a ton of jobs? at the same time a lot of
5:30 pm
producers back off because prices fell so rapidly. >> we think we'r we are going te the low-cost loser here if we are able to get this permit, which could take three, three and half years. but we do think we will have the low-cost producer in the great lakes states if we're able to get this mine permitted. melissa: speaking of getting those permits not surprisingly environmentalism are not excited about this. they claim over 900 million-ton of waste will be dumped in the wetlands and streams of the back river watershed, produce the same acid mine training that has resulted in fish by threes for mercury and wild rice dead zone for 100 miles downstream in minnesota. a claim they have put everywhere. what do you say? >> this is a 21st century iron ore mining bill. our current environment will stand as which are very high in the state of wisconsin, they are contained in this bill.
5:31 pm
those metrics, those numbers that companies have to meet in order to get permits in wisconsin do not change at all. so we believe we have wisconsin environmental standards in the bill and it gives us an opportunity to have an investor who will invest a billion and a half dollars. it is rare for a state to have a company that will come in and invest a billion and a half dollars financing the project, that is the opportunity we have in wisconsin. we think we are ready to tackle that. melissa: how many jobs does it create, what is the boost to the economy? >> the construction phase would take about two years, about 2000 jobs that would be created, after that 700 jobs projected to be created directly in the mine site. 2000 jobs to those 700 jobs that are at the mine site, so literally thousands of jobs and some of those are being created immediately after if we get the job past this week to the governor's desk for his
5:32 pm
signature, some of those jobs get created immediately as a result of the permitting process. a thorough environmental review that has to be done, jobs created immediately and hundreds if not thousands if we get a permit issued for this project. melissa: of course you heard about the new epa administrator put forth today. she has a very tough record having been said the department in the last administration. she has ushered through countless rules on mercury and uncirculated powerplants, does that change any of your plans, does it give you cause? >> it doesn't change our plans. melissa: does it worry you? >> certified. the epa has been very objection is. i live in an area that brings a lot of cool for me so it we saw happen with those that are very harmful to the paper industry especially those that earn coal,
5:33 pm
as we are very concerned, but at some point people in this country will say we want jobs, we want economic development and we can do that and have a clean environment. they are not mutually exclusive. that has been the debate over this bill. they have portrayed it jobs versus the economy. i think they can work together. melissa: thank you for coming on, good luck to you. coming up on "money," top white house officials think the worst is already happening from the sequester. but they might have much trouble with the lie detector test as this guy. >> you are free to go. >> good, because i have a hot date tonight. a date. dinner alone. watching tv alone. all right, i'm going to sit at home and auto ladies in the victoria's secret catalog. sears catalog. melissa: we run their claims through the "money" truth meter coming up. we will be right back.

[laughter] so there is a fight here over what constitutes a pay cut. the architect of the capital released a statement last week, and then there was an e-mail obtained today by some news organizations saying no -- none of that janitors the capitol, for example, would be furloughed or hours or be cut back. however, it appears that they might not be getting any overtime during this time.
