11:00 pm
neil: well how about putting a cap on how rich the rich can get, switzerland putting it to a vote, how long do you think before democrats try the same here? i am neil cavuto, it is enough to make moguls long for day of super secret swiss banks account. that is not today's switzerland. the switzerland famous for attracting capital, is now going to put it on a ballot, swiss
11:01 pm
voters will weigh in. so, the lowest guy on the running makes 15 grand, highest guy can't make more than 180 grand, that not grand news to a lot of big bank executives making 5 to 10 times that right now. what will they do or american firms setting up shop in switzerland will do, will they too be bound by the same income bounds? does switzerland lose a fair amount of tax dough because fat cats just up and go. the polls are tight. does it continue a euro bashing theme that includes france upping its tax rate to 75%. and you have to have lived in a cave to miss this, president's relentless bashing of the rich,
11:02 pm
and their paying what he calls their fair share to know this is global. somewhere out there, someone is readying a guillotine just in case, but it hit us here in fox business. where to the mad dash to cap taxes? to cato institute senior fellow dan mitchell, on this swiss miss. >> i predict that the swiss people will reject this ref run referendum, in 2001 they imposed a cap on spending that served them well, this initiative, promoted by the left wing party, i think will go down in flames. why? because the swiss people know they are doing much better in terms of their economy be that the high tax countries like -- than the high tax countries like france, and greece and italy. when it comes time to vote, they
11:03 pm
will realize, don't ruin a good thing. neil: you would think. a lot of liberal are not great at math, realizing the big return you get from having a competitive economy, a lot of u.s. firms have congregated there and started opening up shop in switzerland, they don't want to chase that away. but some social democrats in switzerland say it is not worth. surely the swiss population must see that is screwy. >> this is why i predict this will be defeated. switzerland is the fourth freest economy in the world, they attract a lot of investment not just banks major multinationals like nestles and schindler, they use switzerland as their location for european manufacturing, and involvement. whether they are u.s. firms or local swiss firms, the swiss
11:04 pm
people are not going to wreck that, i would hope they shouldn't, you could go back 6 years in the past -- 60 years in the past, and new york was our richest most prosperous state, and yet they have high taxes, they are losing jobs to other states. neil: you would look at france, and some other country that tried surtax to say nothing of a variety of states in united states maryland and others have had surtaxes not just to billionaires, they disappear that money does not materialize. but, they keep trying. >> i think there is a problem for at least some segment of the population in all countries they ok at success, instead of thinking how can i mimic that and copy that? they have a zero-sum mental that's the economy is a fixed pie, that is not how the real
11:05 pm
world words, a rising tide lifting ought boats but a lot of -- a rising tide lifts all boats but a lot of people on the liver don'liveon left don't understan. we need to educate people about shared prosperity coming from free markets and government. neil: and jfk came up with the idea of a tax cut. dan thank you very much. >> thank you, neil. neil: the administration is not putting its support bind a pay cap just yet but it has raised taxes on the rich in what it calls a "matter of fairness ." and is whacking the rich is taxes to spring them down then forcing employers to pay higher minimum wage to bring them up doing anyone any good? we have david a azza with us rit
11:06 pm
now, what do you make of that, maybe we can force a narrowing of this gap by penalizing those at the top, and raising those on the bottom. >> the entire focus of income and inquality is misguided. this is a sad thing about public debate we spend so much time talking about this and obsesses over the wealth of top income earners we should be talking about economic growth and upward mobile, all research indicates that there no correlation between income and equality, and economy growth and out ward mobility we need to shift the focus away from this nonsense and focus on what really matters, opportunities to move up for all americans, and swiss people for that matter. neil: how do you do is that? they argue that the witch have inthave-- rich have gotten riche
11:07 pm
very old argument you have seen. what do you do now to address it? the liberal response will drag the rich down. force that gap down? >> i think do you two things, one is basic economic lit rahsy promise of free market economic is not that we're going to earn compare able incomes but we're open up opportunities so we can move up, we will end up at different places but free market economic is not a zero sum game. if you get a big share the rest of us are left with crumbs there is say proven recipe to grow the pie. the other aspect to recognize that reason that argument is so popular, because it feeds into our prejudiced at the end of day not so much an economy matter as it is emotional one it rubs many people the wrong way to see some
11:08 pm
people are successful that is just baked into human nature. i think you can make a lot of progress by explaining to people how the economy works but the end of the day this say perennial problem in democracy because we believe in equally this type of inequality rubs people the wrong way. neil: they are expressing is globally are you expecting a french revelation type coming up? >> i have hope for america. when machine american sees someone driving by in a mercedes, he said, if i work hard i can get one for myself. the french mentally is one of resentment and envy, we do have a well the at home to be clear, by and large americans still get it i would not be as optimistic about the prospect of the argument resonating across the globe, i think there is a big audience that gets it here in america. neil: we so hope, thank you david very much.
11:09 pm

11:11 pm
11:12 pm
neil: so many people are losing their plans right now. since health care law became law, 4 million fewer americans have health insurance now. 4 million fewer, the idea was to guarantee insurance coverage for everyone, 4 million fewer have it now. tommy thomson predicted this outcome. if you having trouble. signing up so few people, it almost begs the question, can this thing support itself without a big old tax increase to pay for it? >> no, neil, it can't. let's take a quick look at the problem the.
11:13 pm
first the roll out was flawed. terribly. they did not test it. secondly, they done tell the truth in re-- they did not tell the truth in regard to fact all people would have their policies canceled they are just finding out, and as you said 4 million fewer people are now covered today than before the act was passed, unreal. but the biggest problem is till to come that is the -- still to come, that is say that this not going to be able to have the finances to support it. neil: what do you do? at that point, what do you do? normally government is never one to relinquish a law, and say to hell with it it's not working, by hook or crook, only way to do it to try to ram a tax increase down. you will have to find some way to pay for it target rich or insurance companies, something
11:14 pm
has to give, i don't know what gives. you do you think? >> i think you will have to have some sort of a tax increase, on the basis of the economy. and basis of the laws, they wanted the young people to sign up, they are not going to sign up, the number of people needed to financially make this stable are not signing up. so, finishly, it is unsound, you have to find money from someplace. neil: easier said than done. someone told me built into this law is an idea like a master plan, a nuclear option to do just that. that the president would be within his rights and pervue to do just that other constitutionalists say, no, no he has already wiggled and changed it enough, and pushed back dates. but th the -- precedent has been set to monkey around with it,
11:15 pm
including hiking taxes. >> i don't think he will be able to do it unilaterally, he might try, constitutionally, he does not have the power to do so. it is going to collapse unless they find a way to fund it i don't see how financially it can support itself, it based upon some assumptions that are based on quicksand. there is no way they will be able to fund it. the young people will pay more to subsidize people like myself and people in my age category, the young people are not gng to do that. neil: what do you think of your successor, kathleen sebelius, do you think she should go? >> i don't think that is up to me to say. neil: go ahead. >> no, no, she has a lot of problems and, i think you know, she needs to try to find a way to solv some of the problem. neil: but she is not, i am not trying to target her but she is
11:16 pm
in charge of department in charge of biggest rework. and fairly or not she botched it roll out either she was not prepared for it or they were not prepared with key i-t people or medical people, it is a sloppy debut, in private enterprise she would be out. >> yes, she would, when we rolled out part d he tested everything, week after week, any time we had a problem, we retested it, they just didn't do that. as a result they had a roll out that was not very nice. and solved -- or solved any of the problem. neil: that is putting it mildly, tommy thompson thank you, sir. >> neil thank you. neil: is it me or when you look at washington and politicians, if there plenty out there, they will find a way to spend it that is why president clinton a

11:21 pm
what do you make of that? you look at that, i always say we pay a lot for infrastructure already with gas taxes, tolls and the like, wha what happenedo those so call lockbox money. >> that is a fair question. the word infrastructure is very broad. that is so many different areas of spending. roads, highways, brings, schools and hospitals in and cases, what the president is saying not a bad idea but it needs to be narrowly tailored. what is that spending going to look like, i don't' to spend money twice. neil: i tell you, i am worried about now this idea of throwing good money after bad, we put a lot of money into infrastructure. with what supposed to be gasoline taxes that got higher and higher, and federal and local level, and transportation and related taxes, various program earmarked.

when we look at a lot o our infrastructure, it has not happened and we have same shovel project that president obama was trying to gottenstuted 5 years ago, i am with you neil, we should not put more money on top of more money to be spent it needs to go back in u.s. treasury, let's chip away at some of our debt, but for president clinton to come along as savior of mess he helped generate with appalling to me. >> i don't think he is trying to be a a halfior. neil: do you think that clinton is doing something astute here, trying to separate himself from the president to clear the way for his wife to divorce her from this administration. and problem with health care. and now, on all these funds exacted from banks, me thinks he is not a dummy.
11:25 pm
bill clinton is strategizing something? >> no, she one of the most astute political strategists of our time, you have to acknowledge that. he is brilliant at political messaging, president clinton is distancing himself from some hiccups and some credibility issues that president obama is having, absolutely. to pave the way for a clearer path for hillary clinton's success in 2014 for forward thinking. neil: also sneaky that me. >> it is but that is clinton. >> he is good at that. neil: all right, ladies thank you very much. >> have you been to seattle? a wonderful city, very carve nated. but it -- very caffeinated but it rains a lot. if you look up during one of your ca caffeine attacks smile, there are cameras everywhere. they are so big, so pervasive,

11:32 pm
installed or the real purpose. neil: yeah. what -- are you worried though they are up to something sinister. >> we're always worried, now there is a capability in hands of government that can track where people go, we believe that everyday people should be free to move about their lives without suspiciousness. where we travel is very private, it can disclose a lot about us, the doctors we visit and religious affiliations we're associated with. neil: thank you, we don't know. in the meantime, they always say, if life gives you lemonsic make lemonade. when i was a kid, i prepared my parents. we have done that is real care law, you know the news, you know the ridiculously low sign ups,
